This year is shaping up to be a particularly violent one in terms of mass shootings, according to records kept by the Gun Violence Archive.
Seven people are dead and 33 others injured following four separate late night and early morning mass shootings in Ohio, South Carolina and New Jersey, authorities said Sunday.
The dead include two girls, ages 14 and 16, police said. No arrests had been made in any of the incidents as of Sunday morning, according to authorities in each state.
A house party in Cumberland County, New Jersey, was one of the most violent events, in terms of victims. There, state police say, a 30-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were fatally shot and 12 other adults were taken to area hospitals for gunshot wounds sustained just before midnight Saturday. One of those injured was last reported as being in critical condition, police said.

(13,009 posts)Random violence propagated by the RW insistence on putting guns in everybodys hands is not the same as deranged RW domestic terrorism where white guys go to churches, elementary and high schools and hotel rooms to perform deliberate executions.
