At least eight people were killed and 70 others were wounded in mass shootings in a dozen U.S. states during the long Memorial Day weekend, The Hill reported, citing data from a non-profit organization.
Data from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit organization that keeps track of shootings in the country, shows that 15 mass shootings took place since Saturday. The organization defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot or killed, not including the shooter.
The deadliest shooting happened at a motorcycle rally in the state of New Mexico that left three people dead and four injured Saturday, and those involved in the shooting were affiliated with bike gangs, The Hill reported, citing local authorities.
Separately, a shooting near a beach in Hollywood, Florida left nine people, including three minors, wounded on Monday.
