An independent commission is investigating the mass shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that occurred in October, with State Police officials scheduled to testify Thursday morning. The Maine gunman, responsible for 18 deaths, was previously documented in a chilling video speaking with troopers three months earlier, asserting ‘I am capable’. This footage, along with a note left by the shooter stating he was trained to hurt people, has raised questions about the police's search efforts and their anticipation of an ambush. Additionally, body camera footage from July 16, 2023, shows the gunman being taken from his military barracks to a hospital for mental health concerns after his Army Reserve unit expressed worries about his potential actions.
