An Army reservist warned authorities about the man who killed 18 people in Maine last week, saying a month earlier he feared the gunman would 'snap and do a mass shooting,' police records revealed on Wednesday. A staff sergeant identified only as “Hodgson” notified fellow reservist Kevin Mote, who is also police corporal in Ellsworth, Maine, about one of their fellow soldiers' erratic behavior and threats of violence, according to newly released records.
Ellsworth is about 120 miles northeast of Lewiston, where last week's deadly attacks unfolded. During a training stint at West Point in July, the gunman lashed out at his fellow reservists, who included Oxford County Sheriff Christopher Wainwright and Androscoggin County Sheriff's Deputy Matthew Noyes, over these imaginary slights during a beer run.
