Iran Press/ America: Thousands of people lose their lives or are wounded by gunshot attacks in the US yearly. Based on official statistics, there are around 270 to 300 million guns, which is almost one gun for every American.
In 2023, more than 600 people have been killed in mass shootings in the US, the highest death toll from mass shootings in at least 10 years.
A gunman killed three people and critically wounded a fourth Wednesday at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas before being killed in a shootout with police, authorities said. The attack sent shock waves through a city still scarred by the deaths of 60 people in a 2017 mass shooting only a few miles away on the famous Strip.
The shooting happened near BEAM Hall on the campus of UNLV Wednesday morning.
There is "no further threat" on campus, Sheriff of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Kevin McMahill told a press briefing.
Police said the shooting started on the fourth floor of the building that houses UNLV’s Lee Business School, and the gunman went to several floors before he was killed in a shootout outside the building. 219
