Lewiston Shooting Commission Seeks Subpoena Power for Daunting Investigation

The commission investigating the mass shootings in Lewiston, Maine, held its first meeting and requested subpoena power to access necessary documents and testimony. The commission aims to complete its work within six months and plans to operate with maximum transparency. The findings could potentially lead to legislative efforts, although it remains uncertain if they will be addressed in the upcoming session. The commission appointed staff members, including an executive director and investigators, and funding will come from legal settlements collected by the attorney general's office.
