On Thursday evening, a man broke into a church in the city of Birmingham, Alabama and shot at those gathered inside, killing two and injuring one. The man was then arrested by the local police and the injured person was taken to the hospital. For the time being, nothing is known about the identity of the arrested person.
The one in the Alabama church is just the latest in a string of armed attacks across the United States. On May 14, an 18-year-old man who may have been obsessed with a conspiracy theory rife on the American right killed 10 people in Buffalo, New York. On May 24, another 18-year-old shot at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killing 21 people. After these massacres, American politics had begun to talk about the possibility of introducing stricter laws on the sale and possession of guns in the country, an issue on which there has always been great disagreement between Republicans and Democrats, but so far received no results. concrete.
