A deadly day in the US: Mass shootings hit several major cities Monday
Ten people were killed and over a dozen injured in multiple mass shootings around the United States on Monday, July 28, marking an especially deadly day of gun violence in the country.
Four different shootings occurred throughout Monday in the cities of Atlanta, New York, Reno and Detroit. All of the four attacks can be considered mass shootings − though there is no official definition − described by leading gun violence research groups and nonprofits as events in which four or more individuals are shot or killed.
Here's a brief summary of each of the July 28 shootings.
Atlanta shooting: 1 dead, several 'innocent bystanders' shot
In the early morning hours in an Atlanta, Georgia nightlife district, a man was killed and 10 people suffered injuries after a gunman opened fire, according to officials. Of the injured, at least five appeared to be what the Atlanta Police Department Chief Darin Schierbaum called "innocent bystanders."
Police said they are looking for four suspects in connection to the shooting.
Detroit gas station shooting: 2 dead, 2 injured
Two people were killed and two others injured during a shooting at a gas station in Detroit, Michigan early Monday morning. Officials said a man was pronounced dead at the scene, and a woman died from her injuries later in the day.

How many mass shootings have there been in 2025 so far?

Deadly Monday follows violent weekend
The shootings came on the heels of another violent attack over the weekend in Michigan, where a man stabbed 11 people at a Walmart in Traverse City. The attack occurred on Saturday, July 26, at about 4:43 p.m. local time.
The 42-year-old suspect is a Michigan resident, and the attack appeared to be random, according to Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea. Authorities said bystanders at the store helped subdue the knife-wielding suspect, who is now in custody. One person remains in critical condition as of the latest July 28 update from officials at an area hospital.
