A total of 4 mass shootings were confirmed to have taken place in the United States over this past weekend all within a space of 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The incidents occurred in separate states including Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.<\/p>\n

In the deadliest of these recent spate of shootings a Mormon church was attacked in Grand Blanc Michigan where a former marine killed 4 people and injured 8 others before being gunned down by authorities.<\/p>\n

The gunman who rammed a pickup truck into the crowded church building then proceeded to light a massive blaze which effectively destroyed the Church structure.<\/p>\n

The North Carolina and Mormon Church shooters have both been described as Iraq war veterans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similar mass shooting sprees have occurred within the US including one set of incidents in 2023<\/a> that saw 5 dead and 56 injured.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another spree of shootings in Chicago over a particularly deadly Labour day weekend in 2025<\/a> saw 8 dead and 58 people shot.<\/p>\n
