POLICE MISSED THE CHANCE TO STOP THE MAINE MASS SHOOTER\nPolice across Maine were alerted just last month to \u201cveiled threats\u201d by the U.S. Army reservist who would go on to carry out the worst mass shooting in the state\u2019s history, one of a string of missed red flags that preceded the massacre.\nTwo local law enforcement chiefs told The Associated Press that a statewide awareness alert was sent in mid-September to be on the lookout for Robert Card after the firearms instructor made threats against his base and fellow soldiers. But after stepped-up patrols of the base and a visit to Card\u2019s home \u2013 neither of which turned up any sign of him \u2013 they moved on.\n\u201cWe added extra patrols, we did that for about two weeks. ... The guy never showed up,\u201d said Jack Clements, the police chief in Saco, home to the U.S. Army Reserve base where Card trained. - Associated Press\nWUSA9\nWUSA9\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
