4 Killed in Shooting at a Southern California Office Building

 

Another massive shooting took place in the United States. On the 31st, according to Reuters and others, a shooting occurred in an office building in Orange County, California, killing four people, including one child. Two people, including the suspect, were injured and taken to the hospital.

The local police arrived at the scene at around 5:30 PM and said that the situation had been steadily ended around 7 PM and that there was no further threat. The identity of the suspect or the specific motive for the crime were not disclosed.

Police said it was the most fatal shooting in Orange County since 1997. "It's terrible and heartbreaking," California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Twitter.

In the United States, a third large-scale shooting has already occurred in the last month. On the 16th, in Atlanta and Cherokee County, Georgia, a white man in his twenties shot a series of shots at a massage company, killing eight people. Of the deaths, six Asians, including four Koreans, have raised the possibility of racist hate crimes.

On the 22nd, an immigrant man from Syria in his twenties indiscriminately fired a pistol close to a rifle at a grocery store in Boulder County, Colorado, killing 10 people, including one police officer.

As a result, controversy over gun control is emerging again in the United States. President Joe Biden said at the White House on the 23rd, "We cannot delay for a moment to take common-sense measures that will save lives in the future."
