There were at least nine mass shootings in the country over the weekend that combined left at least 15 people dead and 30 more wounded, according to CNN reporting and an analysis of data from Gun Violence Archive (GVA), local media and police reports. CNN defines a mass shooting as incident with four or more people killed or wounded by gunfire -- excluding the shooter. This weekend's shootings provide a glimpse into the rise in violence that began last year and that has continued ever since. From a town house community and a neighborhood park, to a hotel and a nightclub, these are the mass shootings that shook communities across seven states. The investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with information to call the St. Louis County Police Department.
