Arkansas nightclub shooting leaves 28 wounded
At least 25 people have been shot at a nightclub in the US state of Arkansas, two of whom are in critical condition, police say.
Three others were injured in a stampede of people fleeing the scene. The youngest victim was said to be 16.
The exchange of gunfire took place at about 02:30 local time (07:30 GMT) at a concert, but there was no immediate information about a suspect.
Police and local officials said the incident was not terrorism-related.
The mayor of Little Rock, Mark Stodola, said it was the result of a disagreement involving a number of patrons at the Power Ultra Lounge nightclub, which quickly escalated because of "the presence of rivalries and weapons".
"I want to reassure our public that this was not an act of terrorism, but a tragedy... It does not appear to be a planned shooting," Mr Stodola told reporters.
He said that all of the 28 people injured in the incident were expected to survive.
Busy weekend for the gun nutters
Bronx hospital: Ex-employee gunman 'quit after accusation'
The doctor who attacked his former New York hospital workplace had resigned in 2015 after being accused of sexual harassment, reports said.
Henry Bello had also been convicted of sexual assault a decade earlier, the New York Times reported.
He opened fire with an assault rifle in the Bronx-Lebanon hospital, killing a female doctor and injuring six other people, five of them seriously.
He then shot himself after attempting to set himself on fire, police said.
Pennsylvania teenager shot in road rage incident
Pennsylvania police are hunting a man who shot and killed an 18-year-old girl in a "road rage incident".
Bianca Nikol Roberson, a recent school graduate, was driving near West Goshen when her car veered off the road.
Police responded to what they initially thought was a fatal collision, but then discovered that Ms Roberson had been shot in the head.
Investigators believe another driver shot her as she attempted to merge into the same lane as a red pickup truck.
Sad is what is happened, and also the stony silence from the gun nutters and moosleambs haters - who would be screaming at the top of their voices and threaded these as the occurred and not 1-2 days later.
But as none of these were terror related it makes them: okay, expected, acceptable, pretend none of it happened let alone with the shocking frequency that it does
