US school shooting leaves 4 dead, 9 injured

American media reports indicate that a shooting in the city of Winder, Georgia, has resulted in at least four deaths and nine injuries.

According to ABC News, the attack occurred on Wednesday, September 4, at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia.

Authorities have identified the shooter as a 14-year-old student named Colt Gray. The incident left two students and two teachers dead. The motive behind the shooting has not yet been disclosed.

U.S. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and presidential candidate Donald Trump have condemned the attack. President Biden has once again called on Republicans to collaborate with Democrats to pass “reasonable gun safety laws.”

This incident comes amid a troubling rise in gun violence across the United States, with public places such as schools, shopping centers, churches, and street festivals increasingly targeted. According to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), more than 42,000 people have lost their lives to firearms in the U.S. in 2023 alone.

The tragic events in Winder highlight the urgent need for comprehensive gun safety reforms. As the nation grapples with rising gun violence, there is a growing call for legislative action to address the underlying issues and prevent further tragedies.
