it can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. I guess we have to be clear on this point. be prepared to die by gunfire, even in a sleepy, friendly town like Lewiston.

Killings like this have an incredibly wide impact in a place this size. Lewiston is only a city by virtue of being in Maine, the entire population could be contained in a couple city zip codes. My father was from Lewiston where literally everyone is either related to or knows everyone else in town, it's more like a small mid-western mill town than a city and will feel the reverberations from this for generations. It will literally change the history of the place.
true, it is a city. a once thriving place now struggling with the usual problems of many once-thriving jobs centers in America: unemployment, under employment, drug addiction, and general malaise.
