‘It’s a national embarrassment for us’; Hochul fumes over gun violence in wake of Illinois mass shooting

Governor Kathy Hochul lambasted national inaction and malaise on stopping gun violence following a Fourth of July mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois.

A gunman killed six people and injured dozens at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb on Monday. The shooting, Hochul told press at the Navy Yard, brings the national total up to 309 mass shootings so far this year — including the deadly Buffalo supermarket massacre in May that claimed 10 lives.
