A nine-year-old child is suspected of killing a relative by shooting him in the head. The child was picked up after the incident in Tooele in the western state of Utah.

The man was taken to a hospital, but died there. Gun violence is an everyday problem in the United States, where there are more guns than people. In the past, attempts to tighten lax gun laws have repeatedly failed due to resistance from conservative Republicans and the powerful gun lobby. aeh/AFP.
