According to law enforcement, CARD recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME.
Damn Lewiston has a large Somali population right? Is it possible this was racially motivated in some way?
The bar he targeted is where old white guys hang out. The bowling alley's customer base is also predominantly white. Doesn't seem to have been racially motivated.
I live in Maine and that's what I've been thinking (because you are correct), but so far it seems like the shooter didn't deliberately target Somalis.
