Four killed and 20 injured in shooting spree in Kansas - gunman also eliminated


Another shooting incident has taken place in Kansas - at least four people have been killed and nearly 20 have been wounded after a gunman went on a shooting spree in an industrial area in Kansas. The suspect has been identified and is a 38-year-old who was an employee of a lawn mower manufacturer in the town of Hesston. It is a community of 3700 people.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 26 February 2016.
The gunman drove around in his car and kept firing from it before being shot dead by police inside the Excel building. Witnesses have said that the gunman first shot a woman in the parking lot before entering the assembly area and opening fire there.
As informed by a local hospital, it was treating six of the attack victims and that five of them were in a serious condition. A second hospital had received three of the injured.
Voices would once again be raised on the need to control gun violence and introduce suitable laws to ensure that guns are not misused and innocents do not die because of someone who is gun happy.
