TL;DR Summary

The gunman responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. this year in Lewiston, Maine, had paranoid beliefs that people were talking about him and may have been hearing voices, according to officials. The man, who legally purchased several guns, including some recently, had targeted a bar and a bowling alley. He was found dead in a trailer at a recycling plant, where he had once worked, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities believe he acted alone. Questions have arisen about whether more could have been done to prevent him from owning weapons, and three of the 13 wounded victims remain in critical care.
