Three killed and 16 injured in a shooting outside a nightclub in Chicago. This latest incident of gun violence in the United States has become a matter of deep concern.
US: The terror of gun culture in America has once again come to the fore. The latest incident took place in Chicago, where three people were killed and 16 were injured in a shooting outside a nightclub. Police have reported that the attackers arrived in a vehicle and suddenly opened fire.
The incident occurred outside the Artis Lounge nightclub as people were leaving after a rapper, Melo Buckz's album release party. A video that went viral on social media shows a person filming from a moving car, with the sound of gunshots coming from a distance.
Police investigation underway, eyewitnesses questioned
According to local police, security forces reached the scene immediately after receiving reports of the shooting. Several people were admitted to the hospital in critical condition. Police said that the crime scene is being investigated and eyewitnesses are being questioned. However, no arrests have been made so far.
Previous incidents have also occurred
This is not the first time a shooting incident has occurred in this area. In November 2022, a shooting occurred at the same location, formerly known as Hush Lounge, in which one person was killed and three were injured. At that time, it was also a high-end dining and nightlife area.
Gun culture in America has become a serious social problem. It is not only a threat to the lives of ordinary citizens but also a major challenge for law and order.
There has been a long-standing debate on gun control in America, but due to political differences and lobbying, no concrete solution has yet emerged. The American public has repeatedly expressed concern on this issue, but the controversy over the right to bear arms continues.
The horrific truth reflected in the statistics
According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 47,000 people died in gun-related incidents in the United States in 2023. Most of these incidents were related to domestic disputes, street fights, or shootings in crowded places.
According to a report by the Gun Violence Archive, more than 600 mass shootings were recorded in America in 2023. In addition, 105 children fell victim to gun violence. These figures clearly reflect the horrific situation of gun culture in America.
