gun violence

 An Asian man who fatally shot one person and injured five more at a California-based Taiwanese American church last year is facing 98 charges

A GoFundMe campaign for the only surviving member of a Texas family killed in an outlet mall shooting has raised more than $1.8 million.

A prominent Texas pastor is calling for AR-15 rifles to be banned in light of a string of mass shootings – including one in his home state – that involved such a weapon.

“We have become a nation that is more focused on the right to kill than the right to live.” This is how California Gov. Gavin Newsom responded to the mass shooting in Allen, Texas, as he criticized Congress for not passing gun control reform. However, given his passionate support for elective abortion and efforts to bring women from other states to California’s abortion clinics, pro-life supporters like me find his statement tragically ironic.

At least eight people were killed at a Dallas-area outlet mall on Saturday by a man who was a suspected neo-Nazi sympathizer.

A man who fatally shot three people at a church potluck in Alabama last year has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

A man suspected of killing five of his neighbors in Cleveland, Texas, was finally captured on Tuesday following a four-day manhunt.

At least five people in Texas were killed on Saturday by a gunman armed with an AR-15-style rifle. The suspect is on the run and, as of Monday, remains at large.

Brent Leatherwood, the president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission,  signed a letter this week to Tennessee legislators endorsing the proposal by Gov. Bill Lee, who asked the Tennessee House and Senate to pass an “order of protection law” that would separate “dangerous people from firearms.” 

Chicago’s mayor says the city’s weekend problem with downtown violence and crime can only be fixed by parents instilling values in their children at home. Hundreds of teenagers and young adults gathered downtown over the weekend, including at the city’s famous Millennium Park, where some engaged in “reckless and disruptive behavior” and were arrested, Chicago police told Channel 5. 

Nine adults and six children were arrested late Saturday night. Two tweens in the middle of a large crowd around State and Madison streets were shot. A 14-year-old boy was shot at 31st Street Beach during a similar gathering on Friday.

Cars were damaged on both evenings. Channel 5 said it pulled its TV crew from the area due to fears for the employees’ safety. Police were outnumbered, the station said.
