We’re learning more about a Florida man who was murdered in Maine’s deadly mass shooting Wednesday. The victim was visiting his son for his birthday when he was randomly gunned down while at a local bar.
The victim’s son, Breslin Macneir, is taking it day by day and is still processing the horrific shooting. He said “everything is so very fresh and very numb. Yeah. It’s very hard to process what actually happened.”
Since Wednesday’s mass shooting in Maine that killed 18 people Breslin says he’s not sure how he’s making it through the days and nights. “I dont know about necessarily having motivation but just taking it day by day and looking for the light at the end of the tunnel I guess is the best way to describe it”, said Breslin
Breslin’s father, Keith Macneir was shot and killed in the mass shooting. Keith, from west central florida, went to Maine to celebrate his 64th birthday. He was at the bar when the shooter opened fire. Breslin and Keith had plans to meet up there before the evening took an unexpected turn.
