The shooting in Texas one of the deadliest in modern times in the United States

At almost 13 hours apart, two different perpetrators opened fire on public crowds in two different cities in the United States. At least 22 people were killed and 26 injured in the first shooting in El Paso, Texas. In the second shooting in Dayton, Ohio, nine people were killed and another 27 injured. There, the suspected shooter was also shot dead by police, which means that a total of 10 people died.

The shooting in Dayton is the 22nd death with four or more dead in the United States this year. It shows figures from AP / USA Today / Northeastern University's mass murder database that records murders with four or more deaths, excluding perpetrators.

The shooting in El Paso is also the country's seventh deadliest mass shooting in modern times, CNN writes. Four of the ten mass shootings that claimed the most victims have taken place in the same state, Texas.
