The gunman who killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, last month had likely been dead for 8 to 12 hours before his body was discovered one week ago, a state official said Friday. The shooter's body was discovered with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at 7:45 p.m. on Oct. 27 at a sprawling recycling center in Lisbon Falls, about 8 miles from Lewiston, authorities said. The property had been searched by police twice the previous day, but the suspect was not located, authorities said.
The Lisbon Police Department, which has jurisdiction where the body was found, also did not immediately respond. It’s not clear when the shooter entered the box trailer where his body was found. Lisbon Police Department Chief Ryan McGee said the parking lot where the body was found was not the focus of previous searches.
