The largest gathering will be at Lewiston’s hockey arena tonight, where there will be moments of silence at the time of the shootings.

A year after Maine’s deadliest mass shooting, when 18 people were killed by a man wielding a Ruger SFAR rifle, Maine’s congressional delegation and those running against them in the upcoming election do not all support an assault weapons ban.

The gunman’s family and fellow Army reservists reported that he was suffering from a mental breakdown. In the aftermath of the shooting, the Maine Legislature passed new gun laws that bolstered the state’s “yellow flag” law, criminalized the transfer of guns to prohibited people and expanded funding for mental health crisis care.

Officials and organizations from Maine and across the nation on Friday marked the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting in Lewiston by honoring those lost and pledging continued support for people and communities still recovering from the tragedy.
