8 dead as a result of two shootings in Illinois, USA
The American police reported the death of at least 8 people as a result of shootings in two areas in the state of Illinois in the last two days. |
According to the international group Tasnim News Agency, the Joliet District Police Department in the state of Illinois announced the discovery of the bodies of seven people in two houses in this state.
According to this report, the police found the bodies of these people last night while they were shot dead.
Accordingly, the police are looking for the 23-year-old suspect of this shooting, Romeo Nancy who apparently fled from the scene after shooting. The police also believe that Nancy knew the victims and they had a family relationship.
Police detectives have started their investigation in this field, while it is possible that Nancy is armed and dangerous. At the same time, Nancy has been wanted in connection with other shootings. About a year ago, he was accused and arrested for multiple attempts to shoot and kill a woman, but was released on a bail of 10 thousand dollars.
The identity of the victims of the accident has not been announced yet. A 28-year-old man from Nigeria was reported to have been shot in the head. But the car with which Nancy escaped from the scene of the accident was seen near the place of both accidents.
The rise of armed violence in the United States is such that every week there are bloody shootings in some part of the United States. We are united. These shootings in public places such as schools, shopping malls and churches have increased dramatically.
It is said that the high number of mass shootings in America has caused public anxiety and insecurity. And it has started many political debates. Critics accuse pro-gun Republican extremists of treacherous collaboration with the gun lobby.
while an American non-profit base reported that in the first 16 days of the new year 12 blind shootings have taken place in 9 different states of Americawhich resulted in at least 16 people killed and 47 wounded.. /p>
In recent years, anti-gun lobby groups have gained influence in America, but at the top of politics, due to the balance of power in the Senate and systemic constraints, not much has been done yet. So the Republicans are still on the side of the gun owners and the Democrats are getting nowhere with their projects. Some say, Biden could simply issue executive orders, or declare a public health emergency, and take countermeasures given the toll of gun violence. However, in both cases, this would be easy to undo and the next election is only a few months away.
National Rifle Association of America ( NRA) is one of the most powerful non-military organizations in this country that drives the interests of gun owners and those who deem it necessary.
The association may have lost some of its influence in recent years and may not be as financially powerful as it was in 2016, when it spent about $54 million on the presidential campaign. But the gun lobby and its supporters have since invested about $33 million in the 2020 presidential election. One of their main goals is to prevent stricter laws against gun owners.
In this situation, the ruling Democrats are particularly in favor of strict gun laws, in While the Republicans are against it. But the majority of American political representatives are against building a legislative wall in the US Senate against this issue. To implement such a project, a 60% majority in Congress is required, which does not exist.
