The mass shooting in Maine last week, which killed 18 people, was
the country’s deadliest of the year. It may have also been one of
the most avoidable.

More than five months earlier, the Army Reserve and a Maine
sheriff’s department had been made aware of a reservist’s
deteriorating mental health. Just six weeks before the killings,
he had punched a friend and said he was going to carry out a

explains why so many warnings failed to stop the shooting.

Guest: Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs, a national correspondent for The
