Newly unsealed documents reveal that the gunman in the Lewiston, Maine, mass shootings believed that there was a conspiracy against him and that people were accusing him of being a pedophile. The documents include interviews with family members who stated that the gunman had been delusional since February 2023 following a breakup. One family member told officials that the gunman believed there was a conspiracy against him and that businesses, including Just-In-Time Recreation and Schemengees, were spreading the accusation online. The gunman targeted these two locations, as well as two others in Litchfield and Sabattus, because he believed they were "broadcasting" that he was a pedophile. Another family member mentioned the gunman's deteriorated mental state after the relationship ended and his use of hearing aids. Search warrants were issued for the gunman's car and home, leading to the discovery of his phone. The gunman was later found deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the Maine Recycling Corporation. The investigation continues as officials analyze a 61-page document provided by officials.
