Lewiston Mass Shooting: Another Victim Discharged, Two Remain Hospitalized

Independent Commission to Review Tragedy Prepares for First Meeting

  • Another victim of the Lewiston mass shooting was discharged from Maine Medical Center, leaving only two of the wounded still in the hospital.
  • 16-year-old Gavin Robitaille, who was also injured in the shooting, was discharged from Mass General for Children in Boston a week ago.
  • The body of the gunman, 40-year-old Army reservist Robert Card, was found two days after the shooting. An autopsy indicated he died by suicide.
  • An independent commission established to review all aspects of the tragedy, including how warning signs that Card was in a mental health crisis were not acted upon, will meet for the first time on Monday.
  • A Maine law that can be used to restrict access to guns during a mental health crisis has been invoked more than a dozen times since the shooting.
