An Army reservist responsible for Maine's deadliest mass shooting had expressed concerns from fellow soldiers about his behavior months before the tragic incident took place, according to recently released police body cam video recorded in July 2021. The video, obtained under New York's Freedom of Information Law, captures a distressed Robert Card discussing how his peers were constantly discussing him behind his back, saying that he was 'gonna friggin' do something.'
Card's chilling remarks during the encounter with the New York State Police officers shed light on his deteriorating mental state and the warning signs that were present leading up to the shooting. The video revealed Card's thin appearance and a sense of unease among his fellow reservists, who had become increasingly concerned about his behavior.
