A 21-year-old man was charged with gunning 10 people down in a Colorado grocery store, as America reeled from its second mass shooting in less than a week - sparking urgent new calls for gun control.

Boulder, United States - A 21-year-old man was charged Tuesday with gunning 10 people down in a Colorado grocery store, as America reeled from its second mass shooting in less than a week - sparking urgent new calls for gun control.

"Boulder county is a small community - we're all looking over the list. Do we know anybody?" said Governor Jared Polis at the press conference.Addressing the same press conference, Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty vowed that"the killer's name will live in infamy."The massacre came less than a week after another gunman shot dead eight people at multiple spas in the Georgia state capital Atlanta. The suspect in that case is also facing murder charges.

"Too many families in too many places are being forced to endure this unfathomable pain and anguish," the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, said in a statement.Biden, who is due to speak on the Boulder tragedy later Tuesday, has ordered White House flags to be flown at half mast, his office said."It doesn't have to be this way.

The bills address a hugely popular premise among American voters: that background checks be required for all US firearm sales, including those at gun shows.
