- 'I don't think I was minimizing:' Reservist denies downplaying threats from Robert Card
- Date posted
- 8 days ago
- Description
- There was heartbreaking testimony Thursday from Lewiston mass shooting survivors and loved ones.
The independent commission investigating the tragedy wrapped up its eighth meeting late Thursday afternoon.
At times, the questioning turned tense, with panel members asking why more wasn't done to stop the shooter leading up to the tragedy.
This was the first hearing since the commission issued an initial, scathing review of the critical missteps and outright failures leading up to October 25.
One Army Reservist was back in the hot seat, with panelists suggesting he downplayed the threat and didn't do his job.
