Body cam footage has been released showing police conducting a welfare check on Lewiston shooter Robert Card, three months before Card went on to commit the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history.
Filmed July 16, 2023, the video shows NY Police telling Card he was being transferred from his military barracks to the Keller Army Community Hospital in West Point, NY to speak with a mental health counselor.
The wellness check seems to have been initiated after a verbal altercation between Card and another individual, who the officer described as being a close friend of Card.
“I flipped out at someone messing around with me, and they’re cowards and ran away” Card told officers.
He went on to say that he had heard people calling him “gay,” and a “pedophile” for the last six months, which required him to quit his job to escape the alleged harassment.
“I know it’s happening because one guy at work actually had the nuts to say, yea, this isn’t what a innocent person would do, you wouldn’t be walking away pretending you don’t hear em.”
Toward the end of the interview, Card stated that people in his orbit were scared, because he was capable of “doing something.”
When the officer asked what he meant by that, Card responded by saying “nothing.”
