According to reports from CNN, the Associated Press and other media on the 17th, a shooting occurred at a church school (K-12 school) in Wisconsin, killing 3 people (including the murderer) and injuring 6 people. Shockingly, the murderer in this case was a 15-year-old girl. US President Biden shouted loudly and once again called on the US Congress to “take immediate action” on gun control.

According to the latest statistics from the US “Gun Violence Archive” website on the 16th, in 2024, at least 487 mass shootings (i.e. shootings with more than 4 casualties) have occurred across the United States, at least 16,000 people have died from guns, and more than 1,300 minors under the age of 17 have died from gun violence.

U.S. President Biden exclaimed that the shooting was “shocking.” In a statement, he said: “It is unacceptable to fail to protect our children from the ravages of gun violence. We cannot treat this as normal… American students should learn reading and writing in school, not ‘dodge bullets’ and ‘find cover.'” He called on the U.S. Congress to “take immediate action” and promote gun control legislation, including expanding the scope of gun background checks, banning high-powered weapons and high-capacity magazines, etc.
