At least 43 killed and many wounded, including woman and child hurt at World Cup gathering in Los Angeles
A weekend of celebrations as the US marked its semiquincentennial was marred by outbreaks of gun violence that claimed dozens of lives and left multiple other people wounded.
Those hurt included a woman and a child among four shot during a gathering of Mexico soccer supporters in Los Angeles following their team’s World Cup elimination on Sunday night.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, which keeps a running total of cases, deaths and injuries involving firearms, at least 43 people were killed since early Saturday – the 250th anniversary of the US’s declaration of independence from the UK – in a succession of shootings in numerous cities and neighborhoods.
Hot as balls in Australia in summer and we don’t have mass shootings. Our 2 worst shootings were in the 2 coldest states.
Yeah. But the Australian army already proved that guns aren’t as effective as attack emus, so why would any Aussie have a gun instead of a pack of Emus?
