Lori Jane has reported from more than 30 states and five countries. She is nationally recognized for her exclusive, in-depth investigations and hard-hitting interviews.
Family members of a mass shooter who killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, testified Thursday that they tirelessly worked to get support for the shooter, Robert Card II, 40, before the shooting rampage last October, but they said they received little help.
“Our family will never forget your names,” said James Herling, explaining that his family keeps the names of the victims on the wall of their home, so his family can see them every day. She said it was a"significant challenge” tracking down her brother’s chain of command in the military.“I wish I had done everything in my power to get him the help he needed. My pride prevented me from seeking help after facing rejection. Instead, I would feel defeated and withdraw until the next crisis emerged,” she said.
She said the deputy, Chad Carleton, was helpful and tried to think “outside of the box” to find immediate solutions to improve the situation and involve other people involved in Card's life. “What’s the answer going to be the next time? What is going to be said to them because what was said to us was: ‘Well, there’s only so much you can do. Our hands are kind of tied. He hasn’t directly threatened you. He hasn’t physically laid his hands at you. He hasn’t pointed a gun at you.’ Well, he wouldn’t have. It doesn’t mean that the concerns my son brought to me were not incredibly valid,” she said.
