PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A lieutenant colonel with the Army Reserves says a reservist who committed the deadliest mass shooting in Maine history had a low threat profile when he left a psychiatric hospital prior to the killings. Lt. Col. Ryan Vazquez testified Monday in front of a state commission investigating the Lewiston shootings to answer questions about what Army officials knew about shooter Robert Card prior to the Oct. 25 shootings. Card had a history of mental illness and killed 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar and grill in a mass shooting that shook Maine.
