The United States has a long and painful history of gun violence, with a consistent number of shootings as well as mass killings that have targeted schools, workplaces and shopping malls.

Wednesday, a public transport worker shot dead nine people at a train station in California before pointing his gun when the police arrived.

In a search this week of the shooter’s house – which was set on fire shortly before the attack – 12 weapons, some 22,000 ammunition and suspected Molotov cocktails.

The coronavirus pandemic has put an end to this growing spiral of violence, but the reopening of many businesses has brought back the shootings.

In recent months there have been shootings at a facility FedEx in Indianapolis, an office building in California, a grocery store in Colorado and several spas in Atlanta.

US President Joe Biden last month called gun violence in his country “Epidemic” and “international shame”. Last year there were over 43,000 dead gun-related in the United States, including suicides, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
