Among those killed was an 18-year-old male student who had just graduated and a 36-year-old man, police said. It was the 279th mass shooting to take place in the US in the first 157 days of 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
A man armed with four handguns killed two people and wounded five others by firing into a crowd outside a high school graduation ceremony in Virginia, causing hundreds to flee in panic, police said.
He called the shooter's behaviour"disgusting and cowardly", since his dispute appeared to be with just one person. "Obviously, this should have been a safe space... It's just incredibly tragic that someone decided to bring a gun to this incident and rain terror on our community."
