68 Mass Shootings Have Occurred So Far In 2024
President Joe Biden has called on Republicans to “fulfill their obligation to keep the American people safe,” but “until that day comes, I will continue to do everything in my power to end this gun violence epidemic.”
Following the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine last year, which left 18 dead and injured several others when Robert Card opened fire at a bowling alley and a local bar, Biden stated, “Once again, an American community and American families have been devastated by gun violence. In all, at least eighteen souls brutally slain, more injured, some critically, and scores of family and friends praying and experiencing trauma no one ever wants to imagine.”
“Numerous brave law enforcement officers have worked around the clock to find this suspect and prevent the loss of more innocent lives – all while risking their own. They are the best of us,” the President added at the time.
Again, anyone who sees the suspects in the recent California shooting or the silver Kia is urged to call 911. Plus, anyone with additional information about the case is encouraged to contact Sgt. Josh Partida at 831-386-5988 or jpartida@kingcity.com or the WeTip Line at 1-800-78-CRIME.
