LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — Maine’s authorities are trying to piece together the events that led to the worst mass shooting in the state’s history. A sheriff’s office reported Monday that the shooter’s family had expressed concerns about his deteriorating mental health five months before the rampage. The Sagadohoc County Sheriff’s Office reached out to officials of Robert Card’s Army Reserve unit, which assured deputies that they would speak to Card and make sure he got medical attention. The gunman shot 18 people and wounded 13 others at a bowling alley and then a bar in Lewiston on Oct. 25.
