One killed, four injured in late-night downtown Sacramento shooting outside club

Sacramento police said multiple people were shot outside the Mix nightclub at 16th and L streets in downtown Sacramento. It was the second mass shooting at a downtown entertainment area in three months

Five people were shot, one of whom was killed, early Monday in downtown Sacramento, police say — the second mass shooting in the city’s core in three months. Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester said the shooting took place outside the Mix nightclub at 16th and L streets as the club was closing down. “What we know now is very limited and we hope to share more as this investigation continues,” Lester said.

“Ultimately, we had five people who were shot as a nightclub was letting out in our area.

“Of the five, one is unfortunately deceased, and the other four are being treated at area hospitals,” she said.

Meanwhile in Denmark, the whole country is freaking out because a guy shot some people at a shopping center. He had a rifle, not an AR-15, so he didn't get to shoot a whole bunch of people. He's been arrested and is being held for psychiatric evaluation. “The whole city is in shock,” said Jonathan Schultz, 27, a musician and songwriter who lives in Copenhagen. “It reminds you of the mass shootings you see in the States. This is Denmark, these things don’t happen here.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/04/world/europe/copenhagen-denmark-mall-shooting.html

In the US it's just another day, another mass shooting, more likely several of them.
