This tragedy marks yet another instance of mass violence that has shaken Indianapolis, a city that in recent years has seen a rise in gun-related crimes.

Recent high-profile crimes in the US

Earlier, a party at a club in New Hampshire ended in a shooting. Sky Meadow Country Club is considered a prestigious venue, typically hosting parties, weddings, and sporting events. This incident came as a shocking surprise to the quiet city of Nashua, known as a peaceful place to live and relax, where such incidents are extremely rare.

Additionally, on Wednesday, September 17, a deadly shooting occurred in North Codorus, York County, Pennsylvania, resulting in the deaths of three law enforcement officers and leaving two others seriously injured.

Due to a series of high-profile killings, crime prevention has become a top issue on the US political agenda.
