It’s a dilemma no business owner should have to face: whether to reopen after a mass shooting
League bowlers compete at Just In Time Recreation, Wednesday, May 1, 2024, in Lewiston, Maine. The bowling alley was scheduled to reopen Friday, May 3, seven months after the state's deadliest mass shooting. It's a dilemma no business owner should have to face: whether to reopen after a mass shooting.
Samantha Juray gets emotional when recalling the events of Oct. 25, when the gunman killed eight people at the bowling alley before driving to a nearby bar and pool hall where he killed 10 more during the deadliest shooting in the state's history. He later died by suicide. They decided to keep the same name: Just-In-Time Recreation. They call it that because when they bought the venue three years ago, the owner was days away from shutting it down. It also fits with Justin’s name.
In Newtown, Connecticut, Sandy Hook Elementary School was razed, and there also are plans to bulldoze Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The makeover of the bowling alley includes a new scoring system and many tributes, including a table featuring pictures of the eight who died at Just-In-Time, and bowling pins with the names of the 18 shooting victims from both venues.
