The latest shooting was in a church in Alabama on June 18. According to authorities, a third victim, an 84-year-old woman, has died, increasing the death toll to three after a 71-year-old man opened fire at a church potluck meal at night.

The statement detailed that "it is with great sadness that the Vestavia Hills Police Department reports the passing of the third shooting victim from Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church," adding that the "84-year-old white female was transported, from the scene to UAB hospital for treatment on the evening of June 16, 2022."

The recent spree of tragic shootings has pushed guns to the forefront of a national debate as US leaders grapple with how to reduce the alarming rate of violence.
