Police visited Robert Card’s home last month after a soldier in his Army Reserve unit reportedly became concerned that something bad was going to happen.

’s family contacted police in Maine, concerned that he had access to firearms at home given his mental state, which had been declining since January. Deputies would speak with the family as well as representatives from Card’s Army Reserve Unit over the ensuing months, and attempt to make contact with Card on multiple occasions in mid-September. They were unsuccessful., killing 18 people in a rampage that also left more than a dozen others wounded.

In July, Card underwent a medical evaluation while training at the U.S. Military Academy in New York, an Army spokesperson toldearlier on Monday. The Army determined that Card was “acting erratically,” the spokesperson said, and that he shouldn’t be allowed access to weapons, ammunition, or “live fire activity.” He was labeled “non-deployable,” and was treated at a psychiatric hospital for two weeks before being released, according to information the Army later shared with police.

The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office on Sept. 18 canceled an “attempt to locate” alert it had sent out to Maine law enforcement agencies earlier that week, warning that Card was armed and dangerous.
