At least 18 people were killed and 13 injured, with three in critical condition, in the United States’ deadliest mass killing of the year.
Four men who were at Schemengees to play cornhole with other members of the deaf community were killed in the shooting there. Josh Seal was a father to four children who attended the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf.
Karen Hopkins, executive director of the school as well as the Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, said that Seal was a deaf certified interpreter and was well known in the community for providing critical interpreting services during the pandemic. Billy Brackett’s daughter also attended the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf, and Hopkins said that he was known among staff for being a very engaged and hands-on father.
