The person of interest in the Maine mass shooting that left at least 22 people dead has been identified as a trained firearms instructor who spent two weeks in a mental health facility over the summer.
Robert Card, 40, was the subject of a manhunt in connection to the massacre in the city of Lewiston on Wednesday night.
Card is from Bowdoin, Maine – a town with a population just over 3,000 – and is believed to be an Army Reservist stationed out of Saco.
The 40-year-old grappled with mental health issues, recently reporting ‘hearing voices’ and threatening to shoot up the military training base.
Over the summer, he was committed to a mental health facility for two weeks.
Card is also reported to have recently lost his job.
Authorities have reiterated that Card is only a person of interest and refuse to call him a suspect yet.
