July 4th Marked by Usual Violence and Tragedy in America
The Fourth of July holiday weekend saw a surge in shootings across the U.S., with Indianapolis experiencing at least two fatalities, prompting the police chief to express frustration over the lack of parental supervision. Other cities, including Philadelphia, Chicago, and Brockton, Mass., also reported mass shootings, resulting in multiple injuries and fatalities. This surge in violence, typical during summer months and especially around the holiday, included a fatal stabbing in Queens, New York and a death in Wareham, Massachusetts.
