President Joe Biden meanwhile called on Congress to further regulate US gun control laws, including imposing a ban on assault weapons following the Maine shooting.
"Today, in the wake of yet another tragedy, I urge Republican lawmakers in Congress to fulfill their duty to protect the American people," Biden said in a statement. "Work with us to pass a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, to enact universal background checks, to require safe storage of guns, and end immunity from liability for gun manufacturers."
In a separate development, a US Army spokesperson told Sputnik in a statemtn that Maine shooting suspect Robert Card, 40, is a decorated petroleum supply specialist in the Army reserve enlisted in December of 2002 with no recorded combat deployment.
