Multiple mass shootings occurred across the United States this weekend, killing at least 13 people and injuring more than two dozen more, as politicians battle to address the country’s long-running gun violence crisis.
The shootings followed a string of mass killings that prompted increased calls for gun regulation reform in the United States. An outburst of violence in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Sunday resulted in 14 people being shot, two of whom were killed, while another person died and two others were injured after being struck by fleeing vehicles, according to police chief Celeste Murphy, who added that “several” victims were still in critical condition.
