Mass killings

A search for a suspect in the slayings of three children and woman whose bodies were found in a Fort Wayne, Indiana, home has ended with the arrest of a man in Lafayette, more than 100 miles away

Mass shootings in the Atlanta area and Boulder, Colorado, have renewed the once-ongoing national conversation sidelined by the coronavirus pandemic: How do we end gun violence?

The number of mass killings carried out in the United States in 2019 is one of the highest ever. A database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University shows that 2019 had the most mass killings since at least the 1970s. In all, there were 41 mass killings, defined as when four or more people are killed excluding the perpetrator.
