In a surprising twist, it has been revealed that the man authorities suspect is behind the horrifying mass shooting in Maine has a military background. Meet Robert Card, the alleged shooter who, despite never seeing combat, managed to earn a number of medals in the Army Reserve.
Card enlisted in the Army Reserve in 2002 and worked as a petroleum supply specialist. His job included tasks such as receiving, storing, and shipping petroleum-based products, ensuring the safe transportation and proper dispensing of fuel for various Armed Forces vehicles and aircraft.
During his service, Card received several commendations, including the Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, 2 Army Reserve Component Achievement Medals, and the Army Service Ribbon.
It seems that Card’s role as a petroleum supply specialist played a crucial part in maintaining the Army’s readiness. The Army Reserve’s online job listing for Card’s position describes it as providing the fuel necessary to keep the Army prepared at all times.
Unfortunately, Card is now at the center of a manhunt. Authorities are on the lookout for him as he allegedly went on a shooting rampage at a bowling alley and a bar in Maine, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least 18 people and injuring 13. The search to apprehend him is ongoing and intensifying.
It has been reported that Card used an AR-15-style rifle during the mass shooting. As the investigation continues, the urgency to find him and bring him to justice continues to grow.
