Deadliest mass shootings
The world received news Saturday of a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. Less than a day later, another mass shooting happened in a popular Dayton, Ohio, neighborhood.

Edna Burgess, her sister and her son were stopped at a light at Tiremen and Livernois avenues about 3:30 a.m. when a car pulled up next to them and two men got out. The men fired three shots at the car.
