A man suspected of fatally shooting 18 people in Maine has been found dead, authorities said Friday.
“Just because there appears to be a mental health nexus to this scenario, the vast majority of people with mental health diagnosis will never hurt anybody,” Sauschuck said. “Right now, we want Maine to be remembered as the community that came together after this tragic event,” said Lisbon Police Chief Ryan McGee, recalling how he drove into town Saturday and saw “people walking the streets, people sitting on porches, waving. Giving the thumbs up.”
Leo Madden, who said he ran Maine Recycling Corp. for decades, told the AP that Card worked there for a couple of years and nothing about him stood out. Madden said he didn’t remember when Card was employed or whether he was fired or quit. The facility is located in Lisbon Mills, not far from Lewiston.
Family members of Card told federal investigators that he had recently discussed hearing voices and became more focused on the bowling alley and bar. When he was hospitalized in July in New York, Card had told military officials he had been hearing voices and said he wanted to harm other soldiers, the officials said.
