An Army report says three reserve officers have been disciplined for dereliction of duty in the aftermath of a reservist’s rampage in which 18 people were killed in Maine. The report released Tuesday cited communication failures within the chain of command, and between military and civilian hospitals, among other problems.

An Army report released Tuesday, July 23, 2024, said three reserve officers have been disciplined for dereliction of duty in aftermath of reservist’s rampage in which 18 people were killed. FILE - A body is wheeled out on a stretcher at Schemengees Bar and Grille, Oct. 26, 2023, in Lewiston, Maine .
The partially redacted report noted that the gunman, Sgt. 1st Class Robert Card, had previously fallen from a ladder, auncovered in a post-mortem examination. Daniels said emphatically that there was no tie between his brain injury and his military service, even though the defense department is looking into the potential for damage caused by exposure to repeated blasts.
Both the Army Reserves and the Army’s Inspector General were asked to provide a full accounting of events. The Army report, which numbered 115 pages, was based on interviews with 43 witnesses, 445 exhibits and visits to relevant locations, including the sites of the shootings and the location where Card’s body was found two days later.
People who knew Card reported that his behavior began to change in January 2023, shortly before he purchased hearing aids online. Card’s ex-wife and son had reported their concerns about his paranoia and erratic behavior to police in May, two months before fellow reservists encountered a gaunt Card in New York, where members of his unit were training West Point cadets.
