President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will travel to Lewiston, Maine, on Friday afternoon to pay respects to the victims of a mass shooting last week that killed 18 people, and to grieve with families and community members. The Bidens will also meet with first responders, nurses and others on the frontline who responded to the massacre, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Thursday.
The deputy director of the White House's Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Greg Jackson, has been on the ground in Maine helping victims as part of the federal government's response to the tragedy. Last Wednesday, a gunman opened fire at a bowling alley and a bar in the city of Lewiston, setting off a multistate manhunt for the suspect.
