El Paso news coverage:
Another tragedy struck in the early hours of Sunday morning in Dayton, Ohio. Reported on CNN, nine people were killed and at least 26 injured at a shooting in a popular nightclub, police say.
Authorities killed the suspect on sight. The article says he was using a “.223 caliber that’s used in rifles like the AR-15 assault rifle used in previous mass shootings.”
Dayton news coverage:
This is the 250th mass shooting in America in 2019.
If this isn’t a wake-up call to vote and get yourself educated on politics and the people running for office, you are doing a disservice to your life. These acts are pure evil and hate.
Our hearts and prayers are with the victims of these horrible tragedies.
