Not less than 70 individuals have been killed in mass shootings throughout the US to this point this 12 months, based on information collected by the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), amid a debate over lax gun legal guidelines that has raged for many years.

Within the newest incident on Monday, seven individuals have been killed and one critically injured in two associated shootings at agricultural services in a coastal neighborhood in northern California.

The taking pictures got here lower than 48 hours after a gunman killed 11 individuals at a Lunar New Yr celebration close to Los Angeles, California, on Saturday night time.

Mass shootings are incidents during which 4 or extra persons are shot – excluding the attacker – in a single incident, based on the GVA.
