Robert Card, the Army reservist who killed 18 people in Maine, had evidence of traumatic brain injuries, including degeneration in nerve fibers and inflammation, as indicated by a post-mortem brain study. The study, conducted by Boston University\'s CTE Center and released by Card\'s family, suggested that brain injury likely played a role in his behavior. The family expressed apologies for the attack and hopes to raise awareness of traumatic brain injuries among military personnel. Army officials are set to testify before a commission investigating the shooting, the deadliest in Maine\'s history.
