USA Tuning firearms to make them more deadly: a widespread fashion in the USA
At least one person died this Thursday and another four were injured in a shooting in an industrial area of the
town of Bryan
(Texas, USA), reported the Chief of Police of that town, Eric Buske, according to the media. .
The wounded, including one seriously injured, have been taken to hospitals, while
the perpetrator fled.
Police suspect that the attacker is
an employee of a cabin manufacturing company,
which was the scene of the shooting.
Later, in a nearby area, the police detained a person after he opened fire on an officer.
Authorities have said the two incidents could be related.
Precisely this Thursday, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, announced a series of measures of limited scope to stop the violence with firearms in his country, and demanded that Congress stop tolerating a problem that he described as an
"embarrassment to international level".
Two weeks after the mass shootings that left
18 dead in Georgia and Colorado,
Biden unveiled several initiatives to contain gun violence, but acknowledged that he will not be able to do much on his own if Congress does not stop blocking any attempt to increase control of pistols and rifles.
"Armed violence in this country is an epidemic. And it is an international shame," Biden denounced.
The president recalled that
every day 106 people die from firearms in the United States,
every month there are 53 femicides committed with pistols, and that armed violence "impacts the black and Latino population much more."
