Politicians and advocates reacted with outrage, anger and despair on Thursday after yet another mass shooting, with at least 16 people killed and many injured at a bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, Maine.

A gunman, who on Thursday morning was still at large, opened fire on Wednesday evening in the city in southern Maine, about an hour outside Portland. Police issued a shelter-in-place order and named a person of interest.
