Biden Will Tighten Gun Rules
Six people died
early this Sunday during a birthday party in the city of
Colorado Springs (Colorado),
while the perpetrator committed suicide, local police said in a statement.
Police responded to a call warning of the shooting at 12:18 a.m. local time on Sunday.
Upon arriving at the scene, the agents found six dead adults and another wounded man who was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
According to the Police, a
group of children and adults were celebrating a
birthday
party
when the event occurred.
A man, apparently the boyfriend of one of the victims, drove to the residence, entered and began shooting and then committed suicide.
The
children
at the birthday party
were not injured
and are now in the custody of other family members, Colorado Springs police said in their note.
The event took place in a mobile home park, a type of manufactured home in which low-income Americans often live.
Figures from the
Gun Violence Archive (GVA),
a non-profit project that tracks gun violence in this country, indicate that
there have been 191 mass shootings so far in 2021,
those in which at least four people they die or are wounded by bullet shots, with the exception of the perpetrator of the attack, according to GVA.
During all of
2020, there were a total of 610 such incidents
in the US, compared to 417 in 2019, the source notes.
US President
Joe Biden
has described armed violence in the country as an "international disgrace" and has called for tougher regulations to restrict the carrying and sale of weapons.
