The Issue of Mass Shooting in US

The shootings occured amid a series of similar incidents of different scope in the US — with one of the latest occurring earlier this month in Sutherland Springs, Texas, when an Air Force veteran Devin Kelley opened fire at the First Baptist, killing 26 people and wounding 20, including an eight month pregnant woman and a seven-year-old child.

The shooting in Sutherland Springs came about a month after another gunman opened fire on concert-goers in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and injuring more than 500 others. The two shootings are among the deadliest in the United States in nearly 70 years.
