Authorities were repeatedly warned about the danger Maine gunman Robert Card posed to society in the months before his deadly rampage, authorities have revealed.

Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office has revealed Card, a 40-year-old US Army reservist, had managed to avoid detection by police, the FBI, and the government, despite numerous reports raised over a nearly seven-month period about his mental health and weapons skills.
