The shooting sprees in the US continue, claiming lives almost every other day now.

    One killed, 5 injured party shooting in Virginia

One person was killed and five people were injured in a shooting at a party in Chesterfield County, Virginia, according to NBC12, quoting local police.

According to the Chesterfield County Police Department, officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire on Friday night and discovered one guy dead and at least five others injured. One of the victims has a broken arm, the report said.

Police were reportedly seen collecting evidence on Saturday morning. The authorities have yet to reveal any information about the suspects.

A few days earlier, US public figures and gun-control advocates urged the US government to take measures that would ensure mass shootings could not happen again. The spike in mass shootings in the US peaked over Memorial Day weekend, — spanning Saturday, Sunday, and the federal holiday on Monday, with at least 12 mass shootings 

Following the shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Tex., which claimed the lives of 19 children and two teachers last week, several members of society, public figures, and advocates vocalized their growing concern regarding the incidents.

The US has witnessed a series of unprecedented mass shootings that occurred in a short period, the latest being in Iowa and Wisconsin after Tulsa, where four were murdered in the hospital shooting. 

Before the hospital shooting, there was one killed and two injured in a Louisiana graduation mass shooting. Witnesses speak of a fight that occurred in the campus parking lot, which resulted in a heated instance of gun violence.
