2022-11-21

According to the Washington Post on the 20th local time, police in Colorado Springs, Colorado, said that a shooting incident occurred late on the 19th night in a nightclub in the city, killing five people and injuring at least 18. In this regard, according to the latest report of CBS, US President Biden issued a statement on the White House website on the 20th, saying that the United States must solve the problem of gun violence in all forms. Biden said in a statement, "Today, another community in the United States is heartbroken by gun violence. More families have left an empty chair at their dining table, and there is an unfilled void in their lives.". Biden said that he and his wife, Jill Biden, prayed for the families of the victims and the injured in the shooting. "When will we think we've had enough?" Biden also said that the "epidemic" of gun violence in all its forms must be addressed. He said: "In addition to taking other historic actions, earlier this year I signed the most important gun safety bill in nearly 30 years. We must do more. We need to issue a ban on offensive weapons to keep American streets away from weapons of war.". More than 39000 people in the United States have lost their lives due to gun violence this year, according to data from the website "Gun Violence Archive" on the 20th of this month, Xinhua reported.
