Police tried to check on the Maine gunman over concerns he could ‘snap and commit a mass shooting’ | CNN
The Maine National Guard asked local police to check on the reservist who killed 18 people last Wednesday after a soldier became concerned he would “snap and commit a mass shooting,” according to information shared with CNN.
“When [his friend] told him to knock it off because he was going to get into trouble talking about shooting up places and people, [he] punched him,” the statement said. “According to [the friend], [he] said he has guns and is going to shoot up the drill center at Saco and other places … [the friend] is concerned that [he] is going to snap and commit a mass shooting.”
The threat to the National Guard facility in Saco led to some extra patrols, Saco Police Chief Jack Clements told WMTW Maine, but the troubled guardsman never showed up.
Sagadahoc County Sheriff Merry told The New York Times he sent an alert to all law enforcement agencies in Maine sometime in September after learning of the threat to the Saco base.
CNN had not been able to independently verify that.
Can you imagine hearing “this guy is hearing voices and talking about shooting up the Saco base and doing mass shootings and stuff. Please do something before he snaps and kills people!” and thinking “better send a couple extra patrols around Saco” is the correct response??
It’s like hearing about an exploit for an edge router and rather than patching, instead decide to increase the logging verbosity on the firewall for a couple days. You know, so you can spot and stop the exploit.
The police incompetence is unfathomable. I don’t know how you can even create people who think like this.
