Residents of Lewiston return to work Monday, the morning after coming together to mourn the 18 lives lost in last week's shooting. They gathered Sunday evening, hugging one another, singing a rousing edition of “Amazing Grace,” and seeking guidance out of these dark days from religious leaders who talked of hope, healing and the power of prayer., where days earlier a gunman fatally shot 18 people.
Kevin Bohlin, who represented the deaf community, signed his message, which was delivered through an ASL interpreter, about how the tragedy hit close to home for the community. Several in attendance could be seen signing to one another throughout the vigil. Austin said he hopes that what arises from the tragedy is a “kinder people, a more compassionate people, a more merciful people.”
Thousands of people attended a vigil in honor of the 18 people killed and 13 wounded in the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine earlier this week. At Lisbon Falls Baptist Church, arriving church members greeted each other warmly but the atmosphere turned somber when the Rev. Brian Ganong brought up the tragedy. He prayed for those fighting for their lives, those who lost family and friends, first responders and medical workers, and others — including the Card family, who he said had ties to some members of the church.
A stay-at-home order in place during the massive search was lifted Friday afternoon, hours before authorities announced they had found Card’s body. By Saturday, some sense of normalcy returned. Residents went hunting on the opening day of hunting season for deer, and one family handed out buckets of flowers downtown.
