Fox News
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the United States averages more than one shooting per day before accidentally saying it averages one per week.
"That means we are averaging more than one a day, more than 200 mass shootings in 128 days," she said, adding that more than 14,000 people died this year from gun violence. "This is a crisis. It is a crisis that the Republicans in Congress are refusing to address. We are talking about the number one killer of kids in America, and Republicans in Congress are saying there is nothing that we can do about it." Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
Mass shootings are taking place in schools, shopping centers, churches, movie theaters, grocery stores, temples and other communal areas, interrupting everyday lives, the press secretary explained.
