New Video of Lewiston Shooter Confronted by Police Three Months Before Shooting

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.
