Full moon rising over Coit Tower and Saints Peter and Paul Church in San Francisco, with a beautiful sunset sky to accompany it.
Three years ago today, a gunman killed 18 people and injured 13 others in a shooting rampage in Lewiston, Maine. Families were gathered for youth night at the local bowling alley and Maine’s deaf and hard of hearing community were gathered at a restaurant for a corn hole competition.
Mainers demanded action, and their leaders listened. State lawmakers passed a 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases and expanded background checks to help keep guns out of the wrong hands. And last year, Mainers voted to pass a red flag law, which allows family members to petition courts to remove firearms from a loved one in danger.
These laws have been lifesaving but more must be done. Our hearts are with the victims, survivors, their families, and the entire Lewiston community as we work to build on this progress.

Eleven people were shot and injured during homecoming celebrations last night near Florida A&M University’s Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee.
Six of the victims are under 18 years old. The youngest is only 11.

The gun used by a 16-year-old who shot and killed three children and a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon last week was a birthday gift from the shooter's mom, sources told CBS News.
The Maverick 88 pump-action 12-gauge shotgun was purchased legally in August 2026 by Shauntai Nickerson, the mother of Griffin J. John II, and given to him for recreational use, the sources said.
Police said Monday there were a total of nine people — four adults and five children — in the classroom at the time. Three children and one teacher were killed. Another child and teacher were wounded. cbsn.ws/4zFsaEF
