EL PASO: The United States mourned on Sunday (Aug 4) for victims of two mass shootings that killed 29 people in less than 24 hours as debate raged ...

Trump said on Sunday that"hate has no place in our country," but also blamed mental illness for the violence.

Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl told a news conference that the quick police response was"crucial," preventing the shooter from entering a bar where"there would have been ... catastrophic injury and loss of life."Biehl said the gunman wore a mask and a bullet-proof vest and was armed with an assault rifle that was fitted with a 100-round drum magazine.

The manifesto posted shortly before the shooting started also praises the killing of 51 Muslims at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in March. People near the shooter became cornered, and Saenz said she recalls him raising his rifle, aiming at them and shooting. Despite a string of horrific mass shootings over the past few years in the US, where a gun culture is deep-rooted, gun control efforts have always proved divisive.
