Missouri-Sana
One person was killed and three others were wounded in a shooting yesterday in southern Missouri, in the central United States.
The Associated Press quoted Oregon County Police Chief Eric King as saying that yesterday an armed person stormed a small store in the Kushkonong area, which borders Missouri and Arkansas, and began firing his pistol, killing one person and seriously wounding 3 others.
He added that security forces managed to arrest the 28-year-old attacker about 4 hours after the incident in neighboring Howell County.
It was announced yesterday that 6 people were seriously injured after an exchange of gunfire on a highway in Fort Worth, Texas, USA.
Shooting incidents are common in the United States with the spread of a culture of violence in American society and the continuing enforcement of a law that permits the uncontrolled possession of individual weapons.
