4 people are dead while 15 teenagers were treated for gunshot wounds at Dadeville’s Lake Martin Community Hospital in Alabama after a shooting at a Sweet 16 party.

The Alabama shooting happened the same day that shots were fired into a crowd at a park in Louisville, Kentucky.

Two people were killed and four others were wounded.

The US has suffered at least 162 mass shootings in the first 15 weeks of 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

That’s an average of more than 1.5 mass shootings every day so far this year.
