Yesterday there were three mall shootings at once in America: in Alabama, Massachusetts and Ohio.

In Alabama, Royta Giles Jr., 8, was waiting in line with his family at The Children’s Place at the Riverchase Galleria when a gunman opened fire and fatally shot him in the head.

Meanwhile in Massachusetts, a 15-year-old girl was shot and injured after being struck by a stray bullet during a shootout between two men at Braintree’s South Shore Plaza. https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/07/03/south-shore-plaza-in-braintree-on-lockdown-according-to-police/

And in Ohio, a shooting at Beachwood Place sent shoppers running through the mall in panic after two men got into an altercation near Saks Fifth Avenue, and one pulled a gun and shot the other in the leg. https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/07/03/panic-beachwood-place-after-gunfire-erupts-mall/

Most other high-income countries won’t experience a single mall shooting this year. But then again, they also don’t let @NRA lobbyists write their gun laws.

We don’t have to live like this. Our children sure as hell shouldn’t die like this. ACT. Text READY to 644-33.
