  • An Army nurse practitioner recommended that Card's weapons be removed, but officers mistakenly thought they had no options and relied on his family. The same nurse practitioner concluded New York's red flag law couldn’t be applied as it only applied to New Yorkers.
  • A reservist reported in September that he believed Card was going to 'snap and do a mass shooting', prompting an attempt by a Maine deputy to check on Card at his home. However, the deputy declined to initiate proceedings under Maine's yellow flag law when Card refused to answer the door.
  • The report faulted the Army Reserve Psychological Health Program for failing to fully review Card's medical charts before dismissing the case due to his refusal to cooperate.
