Four killed in shooting in US state of Georgia

2023-07-16

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] At least four people have died in a mass shooting in the US state of Georgia. This was reported on July 15 by CBS.

It is specified that an unknown person opened fire on people in the city of Hampton, Henry County. The city is located 65 km south of Atlanta. The suspected attacker is still at large and police are looking for him.

County government spokeswoman Melissa Robinson said at least four people were killed in the mass shooting. Information about the injured and dead is being specified.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that in New York, as a result of a shooting by a man on a scooter, one person died and three were injured. The police detained a 21-year-old man who fired, the actions of the attacker are called accidental.

A shooting was also reported at a nightclub in the US state of Colorado. US President Joseph Biden said after the shooting in Colorado Springs, which killed five people, that the country needs to tighten gun control and ban the sale of assault weapons.

CBS Atlanta adds:

According to Hampton Police Chief James Turner, law enforcement is looking for 40-year-old Andre Longmore -- who is believed to be armed and dangerous. The shootings happened in the city of about 8,500 people, located about 40 miles south of Atlanta.

Officials released few details about the killings. Turner said detectives were investigating at least four scene of the crimes near one another in the same neighborhood. He declined to discuss a possible motive.

The suspect remained on the lam more than five hours after the killings, and authorities vowed to keep searching until he was in jug.

#9 Look at the 202# FBI Crime data to see who is shooting who and in most cases their own.
IF YOU CAN FIND IT.

The FBI seems to be a little slow in releasing National Crime Database details since 2020.

#5 Funny how the same people who always want "context" prefer all this is just lumped together as "gun violence."

#4 sadly a lot of the non suicide gun deaths, probably over 2k/yr, are intra family domestic violence

#3 Inside your 43,200 deaths statistic:
75% of the deaths are black, 25% non-white.
54% of the deaths are suicide, 43% murder, 3% other.
Gun deaths/murder have increased 23% since 2019, the onset of the pandemic.

#1 SOME COMPARISON DATA

FIREARMS
There is an estimated 434 million firearms in civilian possession. The AR-15 and similar semi-automatics account for about estimated 19.8 million, in common use.

Official government sources indicates from 2012 to 2022, (10 years) includes, Epidemics, a Pandemic, 100's of the Riots and Looting's, only shows there were about 43,200 gun deaths a year in the US with a population of 342,000,000+ people. Or on average 1 on 10,046 chance of death by firearm. Note: this figure also includes justified, police, & self-defense shootings.

VEHICLES
Official government sources estimate 42,915 people died in motor vehicle traffic accidents in 2021 and US has about 282,366,285 registered vehicles as Dec. 31, 2021. Or, on average 1 in 6,579 chance of death by vehicle. Note: this figure also includes mass transit accidental deaths.

So, in the USA you are 3,467 times more likely to be killed by a vehicle than a firearm.

If a person using the same Official government sources, were to break down the Shooter/Murder vs Victim demographics, and publish it, the data would be called Bias Racist

But hypothetically. even if certain demographic groups were banned from having firearms. We still be back at the same real life fatal logic .

Violent Criminals don't obey gun laws, only honest ~~citizens~~ Victims do.
