At least 10 dead, 42 injured as wave of weekend mass shootings in US continues

At least 10 mass shootings occurred across the country between Friday and Sunday night, making this the third consecutive weekend in which U.S. law enforcement officers have responded to multiple incidents, each involving four or more victims shot.

Shootings this weekend have left at least 10 people dead and 42 injured in 10 cities, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a site that tracks shootings across the country. The website defines a mass shooting as a single incident involving four or more victims, which differs from the FBI's definition as a single incident in which four or more people, not including the suspect, are killed.

The string of consecutive weekend mass casualty incidents began over the Memorial Day holiday, when at least 17 shootings left a total of 13 dead and 79 injured in cities across the country, including Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Memphis and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Last weekend, at least 11 mass-casualty shootings erupted, leaving a total of 17 dead and 62 injured across the nation.

Since the May 14 suspected racially motivated attack at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket left 10 Black people dead and an 18-year-old white teenager charged with multiple counts of murder, there have been at least 68 mass shootings nationwide, including the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

Adding to the carnage, were mass-casualty shootings this weekend in Los Angeles, Denver, New Orleans, Detroit, Louisville, Kentucky; Decatur, Georgia; South Fulton, Georgia, Antioch, Tennessee; Gary, Indiana; and for the third straight weekend in Chicago.

The shootings this weekend came as a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators announced Sunday that they have reached agreement on the framework of a plan to curb what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., described as "the gun violence epidemic that has plagued our country and terrorized our children for far too long."
