Nine people dead and scores injured over weekend of mass US shootings

Six separate mass shootings bring tally to 324 this year, underscoring continuing US crisis of gun violence

Sunday's mass murder at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, which left at least four worshippers dead and eight wounded, was just one of six mass shootings that erupted across the US over a weekend of gun horror.

The Gun Violence Archive, an online non-profit database which records mass shootings in America, added six fresh incidents over Saturday and Sunday. The concentrated bloodletting, spread out across four states, took the lives of nine people, including the suspect in Sunday's shooting at Grand Blanc's Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church, as well as injuring at least 33.
