The lawsuit asserts that the Army failed to act on multiple warning signs regarding Card's deteriorating mental health, which included paranoia and delusions, over a seven-month period leading up to the incident.

On October 25, 2023, Army Reservist Robert Card carried out a mass shooting at a bowling alley and a cornhole league, resulting in the deaths of 18 people and injuries to 13 others.

Card died by suicide two days after the shooting, prompting victims' families to seek accountability from the Army.

In the wake of this tragedy, lawyers representing 100 survivors and family members of victims are pursuing negligence claims against the U.S. Army and other federal agencies.

The legal action was announced during a press conference attended by survivors and victims' families, highlighting the need for accountability to prevent future tragedies.

Testimonies reveal that Card's family warned Army officials about his erratic behavior and access to firearms prior to the shooting.

Despite being informed of Card's mental health issues, local law enforcement did not enforce Maine's 'yellow flag' law to confiscate his firearms.

An independent commission found that both the Army and civilian law enforcement had multiple opportunities to intervene and prevent the shooting.

The plaintiffs' legal representatives emphasize the need for accountability, demanding that the Army address its failures to prevent future tragedies.

The legal summary outlines critical moments where Army officials allegedly failed to intervene, including concerns raised in spring 2023, after Card's release from a mental health hospital in August, and threats reported in September.

Serving a legal notice is the first step in pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit against the named agencies, with the Army having six months to respond before formal legal action can proceed.

The claims highlight the epidemic of mass shootings in America, urging those in authority to recognize and act on warning signs of potential violence.
