Sirens heard following mass shooting in Maine on October 25, 2023
Authorities tried to contact Robert Card over concerns he would ‘snap and commit a mass shooting’:docsMaine residents come together in prayer for 18 victims of mass shooterDeranged Maine mass shooter Robert Card had repeatedly claimed he could hear voices in his head calling him a “pedophile” and was paranoid people were “casing” his home in the months before he massacred 18 people, police reports obtained by The Post show.
They noted the issues, which started as early as January, had escalated of late and that the son now believed his father was likely “hearing voices or starting to experience paranoia” because he thought people were saying derogatory things about about him out in public. Card’s ex-wife also told cops her former husband had recently picked up 10-15 handguns and rifles that used to be stored at his brother’s house — and that she was “very worried” about her son spending time with his dad, the report states.
A subsequent incident report filed in mid-September showed that the National Guard had urged the sheriff’s office to carry out a welfare check on Card because a fellow soldier was concerned he was “going to snap” and had made numerous threatening comments, the file stated. “When Hodgson told him to knock it off because he was going to get in trouble talking about shooting up places and people, Card punched him,” the report said.“Hodgson was able to get out of the car and made his own way home. According to Hodgson, Card said he has guns and is going to shoot up the drill center at Saco and other places.”
