This is totally shocking!  I'm surprised it hasn't been on the news here in the UK. Has there ever been a mass shooting in America previously?

A victim has died today. It was on the news in my area because he was from New York state. It sounds like police think two people were shooting at each other and hit innocent bystanders instead. They don't know if anyone in the crowd was involved in the incident or not. They are reviewing surveillance video. One suspect is under arrest and police are looking for the other one. Crazy!

there was another shooting in Atlanta, a guy shot a cashier, in an argument over a mask, then a retired cop in the store shot him, if it was not for another guy with a gun, would the  cashier be the last?

Well, obviously "no" because the guy shot the cop too. Georgia grocery store shooting after mask dispute leaves 1 dead, 2 injured, DeKalb County sheriff says - CNN

Here's a second link with a better description of what went down: Victor Lee Tucker Palmetto man shoots Decatur cashier dead face mask (scallywagandvagabond.com)

Killing a woman just because he didn't want to wear a face mask...  

(Evidentially they have the wrong picture of the guy)
