The shooting came at the height of a current incident in the series of mass shootings in the US that took place on Monday at Michigan State University, in which three students were killed on the eve of the five-year anniversary of the Parkland High School shooting, which killed 17 people, mostly students.

Gun Violence Archive reported there have been more than 70 mass shootings in the United States this year.

Recently, the United States has been rocked by a succession of high-profile mass shootings, including in schools, churches, grocery stores, and hospitals. The incidents have collectively left dozens dead.
