Breakdown

Breakdown: Turning Anguish Into Action examined the deadly 2023 mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, and the aftermath for shooting victims, some of whom were deaf and hard of hearing.

A long-awaited review of the Lewiston mass shooter conducted by Water Reed National Military Center may contain a second opinion on what led to his violent behavior — but heavy redactions make it impossible to know.

Members of the family in Bowdoin are among the few relatives of a mass shooter to ever talk openly about their experience.

Over six episodes, Breakdown explores the missed opportunities to prevent the shooting, the role of guns and hunting in Maine’s politics, and the aftermath for shooting victims, some of whom were deaf and hard of hearing.

Experts say the gunman’s brain tissue points to traumatic injury ‘likely’ caused by blasts in the line of duty; the Army disagrees, but is taking steps to limit exposure.

FRONTLINE, the Portland Press Herald and Maine Public investigate the deadliest mass shooting in Maine history and the missed opportunities to prevent it. The documentary examines breakdowns with police, military and mental health care in the lead-up to the Lewiston shooting in October 2023.

Eighteen chairs, each holding a bouquet of white flowers, lined the stage of the Lewiston Colisee Friday night for an event to mark the first anniversary of the Lewiston mass shooting.

A new exhibit at the Maine MILL features more than 261 empty bouquet sleeves collected from impromptu shooting memorials last year.
