Another Week of Gun Violence in the U.S.

A mass shooting left five people dead and dozens of others injured last week at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ bar that’s served as a safe space for the Colorado Springs queer community for over 20 years. Just days later, a gunman opened fire in a Virginia Walmart, killing six people. 

Both shootings have raised questions about the state of gun violence in the U.S. and how we can prevent such tragedies from happening again.

And in headlines: protestors took to the streets in China over the country’s strict COVID policies, the U.S. is once again facing a potential freight rail strike, and the Biden administration extended the pause on federal student loan payments.
