[00:02.24]Two mass shootings in less than 24 hours left at least twenty-nine people dead in the United States Sunday.
[00:12.56]The shootings happened in El Paso, a Texas city along the Mexico border and Dayton, a city in the state of Ohio 2500 kilometers northeast.
[00:27.08]At about 10:40 a.m. Saturday morning, officials said, a gunman walked into a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas and began shooting.
[00:39.16]Hundreds of people were in the store.
[00:42.60]Many were buying back-to-school clothes and supplies for their children.
[00:47.84]Police said twenty people were killed and 26 were wounded in the violence.
[00:54.64]Among those killed was Jordan Anchondo who died while trying to protect her 2-month-old son from bullets.
[01:04.36]Police arrested the shooting suspect at the attack site.
[01:08.84]He is identified as Patrick Crusius, a 21-year-old man from Allen, Texas, a city about 10 hours from El Paso.
[01:19.92]Officials are investigating whether he is connected to an online document denouncing the Hispanic population in the U.S. and immigrants, generally.
[01:32.48]The U.S. Census estimated the border city of El Paso has a population of 682,000.
[01:41.92]More than 80 percent of the people in El Paso identified themselves as Hispanic or Latino.
[01:50.40]El Paso Sheriff Richard Wiles expressed his anger on a Facebook post.
[01:57.52]He wrote, "This Anglo man came here to kill Hispanics. I'm outraged and you should be too."
[02:06.48]John Bash is the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas.
[02:12.64]On Sunday, Bash said the Justice Department is treating the shooting as a case of domestic terrorism.
[02:20.84]He added the department is "seriously considering" bringing federal hate crime charges against the suspect in the El Paso shooting.
[02:31.56]The charges could carry a death penalty.
[02:35.28]While Americans were still following the news of the killings in El Paso, another gunman attacked at about 1:00 a.m. Sunday in Dayton, Ohio.
[02:48.20]The man wore body armor, carried extra bullets and opened fire in a socially busy area described as "a safe part of downtown."
[02:59.92]Nine people were shot to death and 16 were wounded.
[03:04.96]Police killed the man within a minute of the gunman's first shot.
[03:10.40]A witness told the Associated Press that the gunfire was "rapid" and "people were just falling."
[03:18.00]Officials said the shooter was Connor Betts, a 24-year-old white man.
[03:24.64]They said his 22-year-old sister, Megan, was the youngest to die in the attack.
[03:31.24]The oldest was 57.
[03:34.52]Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley praised the police for their quick reaction.
[03:40.12]Otherwise, she said, "hundreds of people in the Oregon District could be dead today."
[03:47.60]A week ago, another gunman killed three people and wounded 13 others at a public celebration in Gilroy, California.
[03:57.48]The U.S. Justice Department defines mass killing as an event in which three or more people are killed.
[04:05.68]The New York Times reports 32 mass killings in the United States so far for 2019.
[04:14.40]U.S. President Donald Trump called the shooting in El Paso "an act of cowardice."
[04:21.32]He wrote on Twitter, "I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today's hateful act.
[04:30.72]There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people...."
[04:37.28]Democrats, however, were quick to blame the president for the violence.
[04:43.08]Beto O'Rourke, a Democratic Party presidential candidate from El Paso, blamed Trump's recent attack and comments on people of color for the violence.
[04:56.96]"He is encouraging this. He doesn't just tolerate it; he encourages it," O'Rourke told CNN.
[05:05.24]Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney later told ABC News that Trump was "saddened by this and he's angry about it."
[05:16.48]"These are sick people," Mulvaney added.
[05:19.56]"And we need to figure out what we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again."
[05:26.08]I'm Jill Robbins.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
