Maine Mass Shooter Robert Card Found Dead (Videos)

October 28. 2023

40-year-old Maine mass shooter, Robert Card, was found dead from suicide, after he shot and killed 18 people and wounded 13 at a bowling alley and bar this week. Card opened fire at Schemengees Bar and Grille, and Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine.

Card was found dead at a location near the Androscoggin River, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It put to an end the two-day manhunt that saw law enforcement from several regions attempt to find Card.

Published reports indicate, Card, a U.S. Army reservist, was institutionalized at a psychiatric facility for 2-weeks, then released. Card was hearing voices and struggling with depression. Card likely stopped taking his psychiatric medicines after he was released on an outpatient basis. Hence the mass shooting.

This is the problem with outpatient treatment as it relates to major mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Some milder forms of schizophrenia are properly controlled with medicines on an outpatient basis, regarding patients who are of the frame of mind to take their meds regularly. They can function in society without incident. However, some cases of schizophrenia are severe and require more rigorous medical intervention and supervision.
