Lewiston residents begin emerging from shelter-in-place to grieve
Though fear is still gripping Lewiston, Maine, some residents are emerging from the shelter-in-place order to grieve and to lift up their community.
"People mourn in different ways … for me, I want to be here doing something in my community, trying to uplift everybody," resident Alex McMahon told ABC News after he hung up a "Lewiston Strong" sign near the bowling alley.
McMahon said he knows one of the 18 people killed in Wednesday's mass shooting.
"A lot of people knew people that were affected," he said. "One of our regular customers was one of the men that died a hero trying to take out the gunman."
He said he wants to help the community heal, adding, "We want to heal with unity and strength.”
