New Delhi: Two more mass shooting were reported in the US hours after a man at a hospital in Oklahoma sprayed bullets killing four people, and going further from the past of a deadly shooting at a Texas school killed 19 last week.
In the first incident at cornerstone Church in the midwestern US state of Iowa a man shot and killed two women before turning the gun on himself, taking his life in a parking lot outside the church Thursday night.
The local media quoting a top official said the suspected shooter died from a self-inflicted wound.
In another incident at Graceland Cemetery in Racine about 30 miles south of Milwaukee two people were shot at after numerous shots were fired at a funeral service on Thursday afternoon, police said.
Those injured including a juvenile were given treatment while a second person was taken to a hospital in Milwaukee. It is not yet known if any suspect was arrested in the shooting.
Mayor Cory Mason of Racine called out the "heinous shooting at a cemetery" saying that the family was mourning the loss of a loved one when the attack happened; the mayor said it's a new low for these perpetrators of violence.
The latest incidents come against the backdrop of the back-to-back shooting in the US over a week, sending jitters across the nation. Earlier in the shooting at Tulsa medical office, the gunman killed his surgeon and three others.
The spate of shooting spree was triggered recently with a heavily armed teenager, wearing commando outfit, sprayed bullets at people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. Days later, another man shot dead children and teachers in elementary school in Texas.
