  • S5E7: Analyzing the Lewiston Shooting - Military Links and Missed Signals In this gripping conclusion to our two-part series on the Lewiston Shooting, Katherine and Sarah dive back into the tragic events of October 25, 2023, with Robert Conlin, author of The Lewiston Shooting: An All-American Tragedy. In Part One, we examined the immediate impact of the shooting on the small, close-knit community of Lewiston, Maine. If you haven’t listened to Part One, be sure to start there for a complete understanding of this complex story. Episode Highlights: Military Connections: Robert shares insights into the shooter’s Army Reserve background, his access to firearms, and the complex jurisdictional boundaries that affected his mental health evaluations and firearm restrictions. Missed Signals and Red Flags: We discuss the communication breakdowns between military and local law enforcement and how these gaps, along with Maine’s “yellow flag” law, complicated efforts to restrict the shooter’s access to firearms. The Human Toll: Robert highlights the profound impact on Lewiston families, including the stories of specific victims, and the devastating ripple effect on the community. Systemic Challenges: From Maine’s yellow flag law to national challenges in coordinating responses across agencies, the episode explores systemic issues that hinder effective preventive measures. Join us as we unpack how missed opportunities and systemic obstacles contributed to this tragedy, offering insights into potential reforms for improved community safety.
