Three people, including an off-duty American police officer have been shot and injured during a triple shooting in Memphis, Tennessee.
The shooting incident on Saturday night was reportedly a domestic situation and one individual is detained. All victims have been transported in non-critical condition.
It happened on Sardis St. in South Memphis. There is an ongoing investigation and no arrests have been made at this time.
Also, St. Louis, Missouri police say two people were shot Saturday night after two cars began firing back and forth at each other.
A man was shot at the Carr Square neighborhood of St. Louis. Minutes later, a woman was shot two blocks away. Police are working to see if the shootings were connected.
Weak gun laws that allow for some criminals to possess firearms legally are contributing to the high rate of gun violence in the US, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Guns are owned by nearly one in three Americans and many of those people are part of a "social gun culture" that includes hunters and gun club members, a new survey finds.
The poll of 4,000 adults by Columbia University researchers found that gun owners are more than twice as likely as non-owners to engage in gun-related activities involving friends and family.
Overall, the survey determined that about 29 percent of Americans own one or more of the estimated 300 million firearms in private hands in the United States.
