At 2h30 PM, someone inside a gray sedan drove by and opened fire at a group of funeral attendees that were taking their picture outside Universal Community Missionary Baptist Church in the Roseland neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, according to the Sun-Times. 

While one 20-year-old was shot in the abdomen, a 37-year-old man was shot in the thigh and a 25-year-old was shot in the back. 

A witness of the shooting, Kareem House, told the newspaper that he was attending a funeral for his cousin, Mike Nash, whom he described as an anti-violence activist. Nash died of a heart attack.

No arrests were immediately made on the premises.

Just yesterday, five people were being treated for gunshot wounds and one was confirmed dead after a fight broke out and shots were fired in the Seattle suburb of Renton.

The US continues to struggle with violent crime and mass shootings due to its loose gun laws and supremacist grounds for such violence. 

Firearm sales soared to record levels between 2020 and 2021, matching up to the increase in victims and shootings the country is grappling with today. There are over 45,000 deaths from gun violence each year in the United States.

Last month, US President Joe Biden pleaded for lawmakers to pass stricter gun control laws, including a ban on assault weapons, in a bid to clamp down on unprecedented levels of mass shootings across the United States that have been turning American communities into "killing fields".

Biden called on members of Congress to pass tougher laws just a day after a mass shooting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over a week after a school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, and almost three weeks after a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York City. 

In July, New York lawmakers adopted a broad revamp of the state's handgun licensing requirements on Friday, hoping to keep certain restrictions on weapons in place after the US Supreme Court ruled that American citizens have the fundamental right to carry arms in public.
