President Biden is urging Republican lawmakers to pass a bill that would prohibit assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in response to the recent tragedy.
The alleged shooter in the Lewiston incident, Michael Card, is a trained firearms instructor and a member of the US army reserve who has reportedly been experiencing auditory hallucinations.
The shooting at Schemengees Bar and Grille and Sparetime Recreation has resulted in multiple casualties, and law enforcement officials are warning that Card is armed and dangerous.
