A shooting Saturday at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, left two people dead and at least eight other critically injured. Authorities were still searching for a suspect in the hours afterward.

Mass killings in the United States dropped to their lowest level in two decades in 2025, even as Congress failed to enact any new federal gun control laws.

At least one person was killed, and eight others were hurt in weekend shootings across Chicago, according to police. The ages of the victims range from 14 to 48. In the first shooting of the weekend, officers responded to a call of a walk-in person shot at St. Francis Hospital.

"Tweets and moments of silence are not the actions that will keep our students safe. Congress must do more," U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes said.

The country’s stringent rules are often lauded as a model policy by proponents of gun control in the United States.

Authorities say someone targeted people at a children's birthday party in California in an attack that left four people dead.

Despite reductions in violent crime the number of police shootings in LA have increased in 2025 compared with 2024

The homicides happened within a half hour of each other in different parts of the city Wednesday night. Hours later, an officer fired his service weapon while responding to a person with a gun; no one was injured.

At least two people were killed, and 12 others were hurt, in shootings across Chicago this weekend, according to CPD.

Two gunmen opened fire at dozens of people who were at a Jewish holiday event. At least 11 people were killed in the attack, and so was one of the shooters, the police said.

There were 43 shootings by officers in 2025 through Monday, Dec. 8, and 26 last year for the comparable period, LAPD says.
