Maine's government is going to cover the cost of funerals for families who lost loved ones in the deadliest mass shooting in the state's history, the office of Gov. Janet Mills said Wednesday.

An Army reservist opened fire inside a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, the second largest city in the state, on Oct. 25. The shootings killed 18 people, wounded 13 and sent the city into a lockdown until the man's body was discovered two days later. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot.
