The commission released its own report last month, and Mills commented on it publicly for the first time on Friday. The report states that the Army Reserve and police missed opportunities to intervene in Card’s psychiatric crisis and initiate steps to seize his weapons.
The governor said she agreed with those conclusions. She also said the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office could have invoked the risk protection order but did not. In fact, there are no documented cases of the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office ever using the order before the shootings, state records say.
“At its core, this tragedy was caused by a colossal failure of human judgment by several people, on several occasions; a profound negligence that — as the commission rightly stated — was an abdication of responsibility,” Mills said.
