Prior to the mass shooting, Card had a history of mental health issues, including reports of "hearing voices." He also allegedly made threats to carry out a shooting at a military training base in Saco. Over the summer, he was committed to a mental health facility for two weeks but was subsequently released. His mental state and the specific details of his treatment remain unknown.
Law enforcement authorities have emphasized that Card is to be considered "armed and dangerous," urging the public to contact them if they have any information about his whereabouts. They have not yet labeled him as a suspect but rather a person of interest in the investigation.
Robert Card's recent job loss and his connection to a white Subaru Outback have also been noted. It's essential for authorities to locate him as quickly as possible to prevent further harm and provide closure to the victims' families and the community affected by this tragic event.
