More than 60 rounds were fired. Minter said there had been reports of gunshots being fired at the same apartment complex earlier in the week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Texas, \u201cgunfire erupted on a street in Austin\u2019s downtown entertainment district, leaving one dead, 13 people wounded and one person in critical condition, police said,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/gma\/4-mass-shootings-6-hours-173448621.html\">per Yahoo News<\/a>. One suspect was arrested after a manhunt, but another suspect reportedly remains at large.<\/p>\n<p>In Cleveland, three people were killed and four were wounded in a mass-casualty event, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/558228-three-killed-four-wounded-in-cleveland-mass-shooting\">according to The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"M8g6BC\">\u201cJust after 2 a.m. Saturday, two males approached a group standing on the sidewalk in the 7500 block of South Prairie Avenue and opened fire,\u201d Chicago police <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/crime\/2021\/6\/12\/22530750\/chicago-weekend-shootings-june-11-14-homicide-gun-violence\">told the Chicago Sun-Times<\/a>. One woman, a mother of three, was shot in her leg and abdomen and later died. \u201cNine more victims, ranging in age from 23 to 49 years old were transported to area hospitals all in fair or good condition, according to police. There is no one in custody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The victims of Chicago\u2019s mass shooting were just a small percentage of the city\u2019s gun violence victims, according to the outlet. \u201cThree people were killed and 44 others wounded in shootings across Chicago over the weekend,\u201d the Sun-Times noted Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Savannah\u2019s police chief publicly connected the shooting in his city to a larger, national trend. Speaking to the media, he said that, \u201cIt\u2019s very disturbing what we\u2019re seeing across the country and the level of gun violence that we\u2019re seeing across the country. It\u2019s disturbing and it\u2019s senseless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also widespread and growing. According to CNN, \u201cmajor US cities are experiencing historic murder rates after 2020 saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/04\/03\/us\/us-crime-rate-rise-2020\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 33% increase in homicides\u00a0<\/a>as the pandemic swept the country and millions joined protests against racial injustice and police brutality.\u201d NBC News added, recently, that \u201c[d]ata from the Gun Violence Archive shows that the number of multiple-victim shootings first spiked in April 2020 and has stayed high since. The most recent wave of shootings around the country, including the April 15 attack in Indianapolis where eight people were killed at a FedEx facility, is just the latest symptom of that trend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to NBC, mass shootings are also up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been 160 shootings from Jan. 1 to April 26 in which four or more people were injured or killed, compared to just over 90 during the same period in 2020. And this year\u2019s total is nearly double the average for the same time period for every year since 2014,\u201d the outlet noted.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
