Good evening. We're covering a newly released document on the Lewiston shooting, UMaine System enrollment, and the bridge accident that sent a dump truck into the Presumpscot River.


Maine State Police released a new document this afternoon that suggests the Lewiston gunman may have been stalking the overflow lot at Maine Recycling Corporation in Lisbon, intending to ambush his former co-workers. Robert Card's body was discovered at the business 48 hours after he committed Maine’s deadliest mass shooting.


The dump truck that fell through the wooden planks of a covered bridge between Gorham and Windham last week weighed more than six times the posted weight limit. The driver of the Ford F750 tried to bring the 36,000-pound truck across Babb’s Bridge, which has a 3-ton, or 6,000-pound, weight limit.

After years of declining enrollment, the University of Maine System is finally seeing an increase in students enrolling at UMaine schools, with the number of students attending for the 2024-25 school year hitting the highest numbers since 2021.
