Once again, the country is struggling to understand acts of mass gun violence, after deadly attacks in two more American cities. According to one research group that defines a mass shooting as any incident in which at least four people were shot, excluding the shooter, there have been at least 255 mass shootings in the U.S. so far in 2019. We're learning more about the victims killed in El Paso, Texas. They include a high school student, an Army veteran and a mom who died protecting her baby. A mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio took place about 13 hours after the El Paso attack. Hundreds of people attended a vigil in Dayton last night in honor of the nine people killed and 27 hurt there. President Trump is expected to address the shootings in a statement this morning. As he left New Jersey yesterday to head back to Washington, Trump extended his condolences and thanked law enforcement. |
