Note from OP: The title originally stated 10 dead but ABC News now lists 16 in their "breaking news" section above the headline. I will re-edit the title if necessary.

Police in Maine have identified a person of interest in the shooting, according to multiple law enforcement sources.

The person of interest has a history of military service and is a firearms instructor, the sources said.

including a two-week stay this summer at a mental health facility after he allegedly made threats about carrying out a shooting at a National Guard facility.

He could have not made his intentions more clear. But had access to firearms regardless.
