Three dead and ten injured after shooting in grocery store
Fordyce - Deadly gun violence has once again occurred in the USA. At least three people were shot dead and ten others injured in Fordyce, Arkansas, on Friday, US media reported, citing local authorities.

The shooter was shot and arrested by the police. The crime scene was reportedly a grocery store.
Whether the shots were fired inside or in the parking lot in front of it was initially unclear, as was the motive behind the crime.
The governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders (41), announced on the online platform X that she would be kept informed of the progress of the investigation.
"My prayers are with the victims and all those affected by this horrific incident," she continued to write there, thanking the responsible law enforcement authorities and first responders for their work.

USA: One death every 11 minutes due to gun use
Firearms are readily available in the USA and are in circulation on a massive scale. Attacks with many victims regularly shake the country - for example at schools, supermarkets, nightclubs or large events. But private disputes, police checks and disputes between criminals and gangs also end fatally far more often than in other countries because so many people in the USA carry guns.
According to calculations based on data from the US Department of Health and Human Services, an average of one person dies every 11 minutes in the United States as a result of gun violence.
