More Gun Violence Over Halloween Weekend

The United States continues to grapple with high levels of deadly gun violence, driven by easy firearm access and poor gun control, according to a news report in The Guardian.
 
At least eight people are dead and more than 50 others injured after multiple shootings across the country over the Halloween weekend: Texarkana, Texas; Indianapolis, Indiana; Wichita, Kansas; Tampa, Florida; Lake Charles, Louisiana; and Chicago, Illinois.
 
Gun violence is a fixture in American life. And mass shootings are on the rise. In fact, for each of the last three years there have been more than 600 mass shootings – almost two a day on average.
 
I did say the killings never stop, didn't I?
 
Yesterday, Liverpool managed to take all three points to continue their good run of form in the Premier League matchday ten fixture against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. They won by three goals to nil.
 
Diogo Jota gave Liverpool a 31st-minute lead, turning home a rebound after the opposing side’s goalie had made a save. Liverpool’s second came just four minutes later – it was a brilliant team goal as they sliced the Forest rearguard apart before Dominik Szoboszlai pulled the ball across the goal for Darwin Nunez to turn home. Mohamed Salah then struck Liverpool's third goal in the 77th minute, profiting from the goalkeeper’s error to slide the ball into an empty net. 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I feel a lot more confident about Liverpool's title prospects this season after seeing a display like that.
