(The Center Square) — The federal government is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit against the U.S. Army filed by victims of the 2023 mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine by a reservist with a history of mental illness. 

The lawsuit, filed in September, alleges that the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, and the Keller Army Community Hospital ignored warning signs that Army Reserve Sgt. Robert Card posed a threat to the community before he killed 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, setting off a two-day manhunt that ended when he committed suicide.
