Maine mass shooting survivors to file negligence lawsuit against the U.S. government

Families of victims from a 2023 mass shooting in Maine plan to file a negligence lawsuit against the U.S. government, citing failures by the military to address warning signs regarding the gunman, Robert Card, an Army reservist who killed 18 people. The lawsuit will target the Defense Department, Army, and Keller Army Community Hospital, alleging multiple missed opportunities to intervene in Card’s deteriorating mental health.
