S4E41 MANHUNT: LEWISTON, MAINE SHOOTING

MANHUNT: Lewiston, Maine Mass Shooting & The Urgency of Prevention S4E41 In this episode of Stop the Killing, hosts Catherine and Sarah discuss the Lewiston, Maine mass shooting that occurred on October 25, 2023. The gunman, a local with known mental health issues and a history of violent threats, attacked two frequented locations, killing 18 people and injuring 13. The hosts scrutinize the apparent lack of urgency in dealing with the perpetrator despite multiple red flags and speak to the delayed and knee-jerk reaction of shutting down the entire town post-incident. The hosts emphasize the importance of systematic and timely handling of such situations and advocate for stricter gun control measures and proactive prevention methods to eliminate the occurrence of such heinous acts in the future. 00:46 Discussion on a Notorious Case 01:34 Details of the Crime Scene 02:01 Profile of the Shooter 03:38 The Aftermath and Investigation 04:33 Prevention and the Importance of Early Intervention 05:21 The Shooter's Background and Warning Signs 05:46 The Shooter's Mental Health and Access to Weapons 08:24 The Role of Law Enforcement and the Military 13:21 The Yellow Flag Law and Its Limitations 17:10 The Shooter's Threats and the Response 18:26 The Aftermath of the Shooting and Media Coverage 19:12 The Role of Law Enforcement and Their Knowledge Prior to the Incident 20:03 The Shooter's Background and Warning Signs 21:27 The Role of the Media and Public Perception 22:44 The Aftermath: Lockdown and Its Effects 26:15 The Debate: To Lockdown or Not to Lockdown 29:13 The Manhunt and Its Challenges 36:02 The Discovery of the Shooter and Reflections SARAHFERRISMEDIA.COM WANT THE VIDEOS HEAD TO YOUTUBE @sarahferrismedia  And if you are wanting AD FREE | EARLY ACCESS | BONUS CONTENT  HIT THE BANNER ON APPLE PODCASTS TO SUBSCRIBE OR SUPPORT US: Patreon.com/stopthekilling  Send us your Listener Questions for our Tuesday episodes  Message us on instagram :  @conmunitypodcast @stopthekillingstories And for all things Katherine Schweit including where you can purchase her book STOP THE KILLING: How to end the mass shooting crisis head to: www.katherineschweit.com SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS, SUPPORTS THE PODCAST CRIMECON UK TICKETS HERE CRIMECON US TICKETS HERE DON’T forget to use DISCOUNT CODE “FERRIS”  BLENDJET Check out BlendJet: The original portable blender coupon: stk12 (case sensitive) custom URL: https://zen.ai/stk12   Go to blendjet.com and to save 12% use my special link, and the discount will be applied at checkout https://zen.ai/stk12 RESOURCES Stop the Bleed training FBI  RUN, HIDE, FIGHT This is a CONmunity Podcast Production on the Killer Podcasts Network Check out more: CONNING THE CON KLOOGHLESS - THE LONG CON GUILTY GREENIE THE BRAVERY ACADEMY Learn more about your ad choices.
