Sunshine and a sense of relief swept through central Maine after a gunman who had been on the loose for days was found dead
Richard Morlock, a member of the deaf community and surviver of the mass shooting at Schemengees Bar and Grille, pays his respect at a makeshift memorial to his friends he played cornhole with who were killed during the recent mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023. LEWISTON, Maine — — Sunshine and a sense of relief swept through central Maine on Saturday with word that a man who was on the loose for two days after authorities said he killed 18 people had been found dead.
One family of four from southern Maine spent Saturday afternoon handing out flowers to strangers in downtown Lewiston. Some people they approached with the bright yellow and purple blooms politely declined. Others offered hugs. While residents were relieved to be out and about, there was no snapping back to normal, particularly for those who lost loved ones or witnessed the shootings. An armory that was supposed to host a community Halloween celebration instead was turned into a family assistance center on Saturday.
