“While we await more details about these shootings, we call for stronger action to combat gun violence in America,” Biden said in a statement.
President Biden also called for swift action in both houses of Congress to ban assault weapons and protect Americans in their homes, schools and workplaces.
There have been three mass shootings in California in recent days that have left victims and injured. Local police said one person was killed and eight others were injured in a shooting on the evening of January 23 (local time) in Oakland, California.
On the same day, at least seven people were killed in the city of Half Moon Bay. On January 22, 11 people were killed at a dance studio in Monterey Park during a Lunar New Year celebration, and the suspect in the shooting later committed suicide.
In the first 3 weeks of 2023, the US recorded 39 shootings.
