In the latest installment of 2A Tuesday, Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, representing the National Police Association, joined Marc and Kim to delve into the troubling incident of a mass shooting in Maine. The discussion revealed that the shooter had fallen through the cracks of the system, despite his family reaching out for help five months prior to the tragic event. Shockingly, it was disclosed that the shooter had previously exhibited concerning behavior during his time in the army, resulting in his placement in a mental hospital after allegedly threatening to carry out a shooting at the army base and against his coworkers. Sgt. Brantner Smith raised a critical question: "If he threatened to shoot up an army base , why wasn't he charged with a crime?" This episode underlines the need for a comprehensive reevaluation of the existing processes and policies surrounding such incidents to prevent them from happening in the future.
