New Mass Shootings Hit U.S. Cities

 A gunman opened fire on a crowd of people in Cleveland early Sunday, wounding nine before fleeing the scene.
Officers on duty in the city’s historic Warehouse District responded at about 2:30 a.m. and provided medical aid, Police Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said in a Facebook post. The victims were rushed to a local hospital; their conditions were not available but no fatalities were immediately reported, she said. No arrests had been made.
“Investigators are in the process of reviewing evidence and video, as well as interviewing victims at MetroHealth Medical Center,” Ciaccia said.
The Warehouse District is a popular night spot featuring shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

The Gun Violence Archive says more than 365 mass shootings have taken place so far this year. Gun violence has taken the lives of more than 22,000 Americans in 2023, according to the group.

The New York Police Department pulled an image of the gunman from video and sent it to phones of officers, some of whom spotted the suspect about two hours after the first shooting.
“We don’t know the motive. It seems his acts were random,” Kenny said.
In all, the NYPD said there were five shootings carried out during
