30 killed in two separate mass shootings in US

At least 30 people were killed and several others injured in two separate mass shootings within 24 hours in the United States, the latest in a string of mass shootings in America.

Ten people, including the shooter, were killed and at least 16 others injured on early Sunday in Dayton's Oregon district, a historic neighbourhood known for its nightclubs, bars, art galleries and shops.

"The shooter is deceased. There are 9 others also deceased. At least 16 others went to area hospitals with injuries," Dayton police said.

The incident took place hours after a 21-year-old gunman armed with an assault rifle opened fire at a crowded Walmart store in the southern border town of El Paso in Texas, killing 20 people and wounding 26 others.

"The ages and genders of all these people injured and killed are numerous in the age groups," El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen said. "The situation, needless to say, is a horrific one."
"Texas grieves for the people of El Paso," Abbott told reporters. "On a day that would have been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping, turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of Texas."
The authorities said they were investigating a manifesto Crusius, who is white, may have posted before the shooting, which described an attack in response to "the Hispanic invasion of Texas."
"I can't believe I'm sending a note like this twice in one week," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a message posted an Instagram. "My heart aches for the community in El Paso, especially for the associates and customers at store 2201 and the families of the victims of today's tragedy."
