ALLEN, TEXAS - MAY 07: People protest against gun violence outside of the Cotton wood Creek Baptist Church on May 7, 2023 in Allen, Texas. AFPPIX: US President Joe Biden renewed his call Sunday for a national assault-weapons ban and other gun safety measures, a day after eight people were murdered at a Texas shopping mall in the latest mass shooting to shake the nation.
Seven people were pronounced dead at the scene, in addition to the shooter. Two other victims died in the hospital while “three are in critical surgery, and four are stable,“ Allen fire chief Jonathan Boyd said Saturday. He ordered US flags lowered to half-staff “as a mark of respect for the victims” and repeated his call for lawmakers to take action against a gun “epidemic.”
“I will sign it immediately. We need nothing less to keep our streets safe,“ Biden said in a statement. Awash in firearms, the United States has already endured 199 mass shootings this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a non-governmental organization which defines a mass shooting as four or more people wounded or killed.
