Quote:In an interview with The Daily Beast, Card’s sister-in-law Katie Card described him as “quiet... loving, hardworking, and kind” but said he’d had an “acute episode of mental health” in recent months.

He had recently began wearing powerful hearing aids to combat hearing loss. Since then, Card said her brother-in-law has been insisting to his family that he could hear people bashing him—including at Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley and Schemengees Bar and Grill, where he’s accused of gunning down 18 people.

“He truly believed he was hearing people say things,” she said. “This all just happened within the last few months.”

Card appears to have maintained a low profile on social media, but his now-deleted Twitter account shows him engaging with news about recent shootings. After a mass shooting at a school in Nashville in March, Card liked a tweet arguing against a ban on “assault weapons.” He also liked a tweet by Donald Trump Jr., suggesting that “rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullshit on our kids.”

Quote:Card was deployed to Camp Smith Training Center in upstate New York to help support summer training for West Point cadets.

Card allegedly threatened other soldiers with violence, according to a source briefed on the situation.

"Out of concern for his safety, the unit requested that law enforcement be contacted," the defense official said. Police took Card to Keller Army Community Hospital at the United States Military Academy for a medical evaluation, the official said.
