“Four or more people have been killed in a mass shooting every 47 days, on average, since June 17, 2015 when a young white supremacist killed nine people at a historic African American church in Charleston, S.C.”
This weekend, the 30th and 31st such shootings since then took place just 13 hours apart.
On the morning of Aug. 3, 22 people were shot to death and 24 more wounded at an El Paso Walmart. Investigators believe the 21-year-old suspect drove almost 10 hours from his home near Dallas to target Latinos in the border city. At least eight of the dead were Mexican citizens.
After midnight, another nine people were killed and 27 injured in a bustling entertainment district in Dayton, Ohio, where a 24-year-old wearing a mask and body armor opened fire on a busy street. His younger sister was among the dead.
