A week after the massacre at a Texas elementary school on Thursday, a man shot and killed two women and then himself in a parking lot outside Cornerstone Church in Ames, Iowa. When police arrived on the scene, they found three people dead. Nicholas Lennie of the local police said it was a lone gunman. Information about the identity of the victims and the perpetrator is not yet available.
Thursday’s incident came just a day after another attack at a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in which a man killed four people.
Just over a week earlier, an 18-year-old had shot and killed 19 children and two teachers in a massacre at a Texas elementary school. Following the renewed massacre at schools, members of the US Senate are currently preparing a mild tightening of lax gun laws.
Gun violence in the United States has increased in recent days. US President Joe Biden called for tougher gun laws and a ban on assault rifles on Thursday evening. “How much more bloodshed are we willing to accept?” he asked in an emotional speech at the Washington White House.
