Border City: Gun Violence and Nightlife District

border city: The attack on Saturday was followed less than a day later by another shooting that claimed nine lives in a nightlife district of Dayton, Ohio, according to CTV. That shooter was killed by police. A local prosecutor announced that he would file capital murder charges, declaring that the alleged assailant had lost the right to be among us. Together the two assaults wounded more than 50 people, some of them critically, and shocked even a nation that has grown accustomed to regular spasms of gun violence. Detectives sought to determine if it was written by the man who was arrested . The border city has figured prominently in the immigration debate and is home to 680,000 people, most of them Latino. Investigators focused on whether the El Paso attack was a hate crime after the emergence of a racist, anti-immigrant screed that was posted online shortly beforehand. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
