At least 18 people killed in deadliest mass shooting this year | WNT 

“Grief is love with no place to go.” Prayers to everyone affected by this horrible event.

Its horrible that this happened and the many people who lost their loved ones, but seeing that man talk about losing his son seriously breaks my heart. I wish I could hug him.

Hearing that father describe what he's feeling after learning his son died was gut wrenching

The father's description of grief was so soul crushingly accurate. I've been there 💔 I'm so sorry to all the victims

Every time the father speaks, I start tearing up. It's all so heartbreaking 💔

I live about 14 miles from where this took place. Last night there was nothing but a stream of police sirens for well over an hour outside my apartment and I knew something was really bad. These things don't happen in Maine. To my friends in the afflicted area, I love you and wish you nothing but the best.

Usual suspects 💁🏼‍♂️

"Based on our investigation we believe that this is someone who should not be approached." Alright, Columbo, was it the murders that was the biggest clue?

Usual suspect 🤷🏾‍♂️

The usual suspects

That slain gentleman’s father is just pure shock, and disbelief, and a ghost of himself now that his son has been taken from him. The purpose has been sucked out of his life- the way he blankly looks at his glasses as he talks with such emptiness. Heartbreaking. Just have to hope he and the other victim’s families have someone to grieve with.

Im so sorry for the loss of your son and the other victims ❤️

😢😢 it was tough to watch the father talking about his son. Rest in peace Lewis.

This is a very touching story I cry for the lives lost 10/26/2023. My condolences and prayers to all of the families and friends affected by this tragedy. Ronald G.

Usual suspect in these cases

The fact that he is a military trained instructor of firearms is the scariest part

“Why do people do this?” asks the little girl. Why indeed. What a heartbreaking, senseless story 💔💔💔

🙄always the same ppl that do these type crimes 🕵🏻🤌🏻

Typical suspects.

The usual suspect

This is the 3rd interview I have seen of this grieving father since this ordeal first began when initially he was distraugt and waiting for word that he said he believed he son " was gone". I hope the media will now allow this father to grieve in private and no longer place a camera in his face during this time...

absolute failure of a country

Usual suspect

Im praying for the families of the lost. Those souls taken in that way, just horrible. Be strong Maine ❤🙏

They KNEW he was mentally unstable, and those who failed to act need to be charged with failure to act as they should've

So sorry for the loss of your beloved son....I really do feel your pain.

Can’t say i’m surprised. Every single time

It's crazy how you have bills passing to remove immigrants from this country, but not guns being removed

It’s so sad that these things keep happening. We must all stay vigilant when out and about ANYWHERE . Always be ready for something wrong to happen and have a plan to escape from the area you’re in. Praying for the families affected by this.

But as always, Americans are already used to those shootings and keep allowing them to happen for the sake of their gun culture. A truly heartbreaking and saddening decision.

Maine has always been strong and about the people. I am incredibly proud of the workers at both buildings, they sprung into action and all did there part, the kids at the alley and the people in the bar were there number 1 priority. The type of sadness it brings me that Hero’s were sacrificed in the process can’t be explained. I’m gonna miss seeing you at the alley every 2-3 weeks Tommy. And I’ll always remember, ME AND MY BUDDY CANT WEAR THE SAME SHOE SIZE ITS AGAINST THE RULES 🥹😂😂😂

wow, the 100 off duty medical staff- bless their hearts for attempting to help these families n their loved ones.

That’s why we say US government should take care of their own ppl first before demonizing other countries.

That dad that nurse all of their storys is just brought tears to my eyes

Another YT

Prayers for those who lost a loved one in this tragedy

my condolences to the families and friends who lost their love ones. My heart breaks for Maine.

"AR-15 style rifle" "AK style rifle" pick one..

Only in America 🇺🇸

Sooo SAD all this senseless killing !!! 😢😢😢

My Condolences To All The Victims involved

Damn can’t even go to a bowling alley in peace nowadays

No mention of his race huh? I just watched a news vid of black guy hitting up a store and the comment section was horrifyingly racist.

Always the same suspects

I am so sorry for all the innocent loved ones of all families lost

Always the same demographic committing these senseless massacres! 😓

Hearing this now at 10:00pm at night is scary and spine chilling...Im sorry for everyone who lost family and friends during this scary moment🙏😭😭💔💔

Im glad I live in a country where guns are not legal. My condolences to all these families.

This is so sad. Strength to the families going through this grief. ❤

When people relate to hearing voices, it is a huge red flag. This occurrence has been reported with several mass killers. Standard operating procedure should be to separate them from guns and society until they have been given some therapies. This would be an initial step to preventing these crimes.

This is why I conceal carry. To protect my home and family. People out here today are crazy. I’m sorry for all the loss and prayers to all the families. This is getting crazy. The ending of this story is really sad. He save some people lives by trying to stop the gunman by giving them time to escape. Truly sad world we live in.

This is America y'all. The only (developed) country where you're free to get shot at the bowling alley, distribution center, bank, MLK Jr. celebration, July 4th parade, gas station, flea market, grocery store, elementary school, high school, concert venue, sports stadium, department store, movie theater, church, garlic festival, Juneteenth celebration, on the street, at a bar, in the nightclub, inside a restaurant, on the baseball field, at a park, in the playground, even your own home . . . Pretty much anywhere. The U.S. has the most firearms per capita of _any_ country in the world (Yemen is a distant second), being the only nation on EARTH with more _guns_ than _people._ Not surprisingly, we also have the highest rates of gun violence of any country in the developed world _by far._ Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and almost all other developed countries have some of the strictest gun laws, and also have the lowest rates of gun violence. Coincidence? I think not. This is the price you pay for "freedom." I hope it's worth it. Fun fact: 9 out of the top 10 states with the highest rates of gun violence per capita are the Republican-led states of Alaska, Mississippi, Wyoming, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Montana. (Source: World Population Review) When 22 are shot dead in Maine, we know nothing will get done. Their lives will have been taken in vain, because in America we worship the almighty gun.

My heart belongs to those families affected to this tragedy in maine.may god recomfort those families.

the world is fucked man. All we people can do is live the best we can, until someone in our political system actually cares. Cash your votes left, right or center, you'll find this issue is much deeper then just banning guns and mental health. It's the people with money and power who are selfish and irresponsible. Not the president, but the people who run the system. It's not a very difficult fix.

I shouldn’t have to go places every day and worry it could be my last day alive.

Didn't this guy say he wanted to shoot some place up? They put him in a hospital for two weeks and he still came home to his guns. Seems like we are disregarding the glaringly, obvious warnings pretty much every time this happens.

Leroy’s statement touched my heart. I don’t want the news bothering this guy he needs some personal space R.I.P to the victims 🕊️🌹

There is so much pain everywhere 😔

My dad brought something up watching all this stuff. He said during Vietnam the news would show images and video of kids running down the road in Vietnam with their skin burned off from napalm. Public opinion quickly turned against the war. Fast forward to today and the news goes out of its way to sanitize these mass shootings. Well see a helicopter view of the crime scene, listen to a cop talk, show the numbers killed, ect but we never see the blood and guts. I'd bet that after seeing a classroom of dead kindergarteners blood, guts and bodies piled up that it wouldn't be long until things changed. Could you imagine the NRA president talking about his rights on the news beside a panel of dead children?

Where the heck did he go he can’t possibly go that far his either hiding in the woods or family member hiding him RIP to the victims dang 😢

What a lovely country!!

it was sad watching the father say how it feels losing his son. He was a hero trying to stop the gun man. He did this before years ago. l feel sorry for the dad he lost a good son who well help others. l hate massacre killing mostly its with mental issues. it breaks my heart for the survivors and the victims. its sad.

The words don’t even exist anymore man. This just keeps happening over and over again. 😭

My condolences to the family members..I can feel this father's love and pain....this tragedy, and all others are preventable. Our society failed you and your loved ones. 😢

Man, I felt safer in south Africa than I would at a random place in the US. Very tragic

“This year” - America is insane

STOP ENDING IT WITH GEORGE! It ruins the videos..............

I can't understand why they haven't banned guns already

that little girl saying she never thought she would grow up and get a bullet in the leg is freaking heart shattering ! prayers from my family to all of you. i know my comment comes a little late but it’s never to late to send a prayer!

usual suspect.

My condolences to those families.

I understand this man has been diagnosed with mental issues and threatened to shoot up a national guard base before committing this shooting,but he was still allowed to walk the streets,so seems to me the system failed here,but the gun control crowd blame it on the gun manufacturers.

Wow this breaks my heart to the families and friends my thoughts and prayers are with you all😢

Aww.. my heart breaks for this dad...💔💔

God bless the authorities and I hope they stay safe while searching

Oh my God ! Just listen to Joseph Walker's father battle so hard to make any sense of his life right now, never in a million years expecting to bury his son but with no kind of warning, just snuffed out like that, it truly is hart breaking to listen to him, he literally is going a million miles an hour but standing completely still ! My heart goes out to you all

God bless and condolences to the deceased. I was in Maine this past August and the people are beautiful ... nothing but hospitality...

Only in the US..

Whats crazy to me is that people being interviewed act like this is the first time this has ever happened in this country. Mass shootings are practically a monthly thing in the states. It may have been the first time in this specific town but doesn’t change the fact that this is becoming a common occurrence.

No civilian should have automatic or semi automatic rifles. What a stupid society.

My heart goes out tot the affected families and the community of Lewiston and Auburn Maine. I live in Maine and thankfully we rarely get this type of thing here

AMERICA WAKE UP WHEN WILL THIS STOP MAN?

America.... When the F##k will you change your gun laws 😭😭

It’s not an AK platform.

Man reported hearing voices and they still let him keep his guns... Nah, we don't have a gun problem in America, what are you talking about...?

I am so sorry for the loss of your son and all the other people who lost their lives and for the families, prayers for all. 💔🙏

Prayers for everyone there 🙏✝️

This is the worst thing ever I am so sorry for your loss

Totally unrelated I know, but, more cops showed up to teenages fighting at the miami mall than to this. Hmmmm

Condolences to the families

I hate this so much. I will never understand why innocent people have to die because someone can’t deal with their feeling and everyone else has to pay with their lives. If he’s an outdoors man then he’s in the woods not on a Main Street where all the cops are.

565 mass shootings? And just this year?

Only in America folks.

May God have mercy. This is heartbreaking. Sending prayers up for the victims and condolences to the family and friends.

On Spanish news they said that it's difficult to identify some of the victims because that AR just tore of their faces and heads.. so sad what this man did. Mental health is not an excuse.

Wow. That man's son was born with a heroic heart. Im quite sure he gets that spirit from his father 🥺❤

all the talking points over and over no videos

My condolences to the families

The usual suspect with a beak that could cut a block of cheese and skin that turns red when exposed to the sun for too long 🐷🤣🤣

I hope they created a support group for these victims as they mourn their loved ones.
