Gun violence has become an epidemic in America despite the efforts of the Biden administration. On Sunday evening, four people died, and at least three others got injured, in another occasion of gun violence.
Police are searching for three suspects who reportedly drove up to a King City, California, house party and opened fire. King City is located about 62 miles southeast of Monterey.
According to the cops, the three exited the car and immediately opened fire on people in the front yard. Then, they got back into the car and fled the scene. Police are still looking for the three suspects. However, the search has been challenging as the men were wearing dark-colored clothing and masks.
Among the four that died, three were men, and they died at the scene. The last was a woman. They got her to a hospital, but it was too late to save her. They pronounced her dead not long after, according to King City Police Chief James Hunt.

The California house party shooting is one violent altercation. But it adds to a troubling list of ordinary gatherings ruined by gun violence in America last weekend. Below are a few more occurrences that marked the last weekend:

The shooting in California extends the list of at least 68 mass shootings in the country so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The archive defines a mass shooting as one in which the shooter hits at least four people, excluding themselves.

The incident at King City shows why the POTUS, Joe Biden, needs to come down harder on gun control. He recently reiterated his dedication to that course.
However, American citizens are not totally happy with what he’s doing. They believe it is the wrong time to get serious about disarming citizens because of the increasing crime rate among migrants.
