2023 began in the most violent way in the United States, where mass shootings follow one another and leave a trail of corpses, horror and fear in Americans
Still deaths from firearms in the United States. The last episode in chronological order took place in Yakimarural town in the Washington statewhere a boy The 21-year-old walked into a gas station and for no apparent reason killed 3 people by gunfire. The young man, Jarid Haddock, identified by the footage of the security cameras, according to the story of some witnesses would have targeted people at random.
The killer is then committed suicide at the warehouse where he had taken refuge. “The suspect apparently shot and killed himself before officers arrived, who heard the shots but no one actually saw him do it. Doctors tried to revive him but there was nothing they could do,” he explained Yakima Police Chief Matt Murray. The agents had reached the boy following a call from his mother who indicated the place where they could find him.
Other local sources tell instead that, before committing suicide, the boy stole a gray Chrysler and ran away.
The new massacre comes after two shootings have bloodied California in the last three days, with a total of 18 victims. And President Joe’s warnings are useless Biden who, for the umpteenth time, has scolded Congress by asking deputies and senators to implement a definitive grip on weapons and impose a ban on assault rifles.
United States: California is the state with the most mass shootings
And the California the State with more mass shootings in this 2023: three in less than 72 hours. Still looking for a motive for the massacre of Monterey Park, where a 72-year-old man killed 11 people celebrating Chinese New Year in a dance hall. Meanwhile, in the trailer where the Monterey Bay killer lived, the police found “hundreds of ammunition”, a 308 caliber rifle, electronic devices and elements that led investigators to believe that “he was manufacturing silencers” for his weapons. For Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna, “it’s a complex investigation, there are many things we still don’t know.”
Another senior killer and of Asian origin has slaughtered seven men between one farm where mushrooms are grown, e.g Half Bay Moonin San Mateo County, south of San Franciscoand another location a few kilometers away. Zhao Chunli, 66, was stopped and disarmed by the police in a parking lot and did not resist. He was not known to the police and had legally purchased the weapon used in the massacre, a semi-automatic pistol. Again, as in Monterey Park, there is no motive. Among the hypotheses that the killer had worked on the farm and was a colleague of the farmers, mostly Chinese and Hispanic, whom he killed. An incomprehensible and violent act that took place in front of the eyes of the children, who live on the farm with their families, and who had just finished school.
A few hours after the massacre on the farm, in another California city, Oaklanda man opened fire outside a petrol station, killed one person, wounded seven others and then fled.
Yet another shooting, yet another these days, in a school which helps young people living in disadvantaged conditions in Des Moines, Iowa: two students were killed and the police stopped three people who were trying to flee in a car, explaining that it was not a random act but a “targeted action”. The institute where the massacre took place, attended by boys aged between 9 and 18, was founded by Will Holmes, the rapper known as Will Keeps who arrived in Des Moines 20 years ago from Chicago where he lived in a world of gang before finding support and help in music.
President Biden against guns
A record, this year there have already been 39 mass shootings, never so many in American history in January alone, against which Biden lashed out, who gun fight made a priority of his presidency: “We need astrong action. I am once again calling on Congress to act quickly and pass the ban on assault weapons” thundered the president.
While the governor of California, the Democrat Gavin Newsom, has attacked the second amendment of the constitution, the one that guarantees the right to guns, calling it “a suicide pact”.
