Two people were killed and at least one was injured in a shooting at a Burlington store in Los Angeles, US media reported.

Comparing the statistics of violence with weapons between the United States and other countries of the world shows that the rate of violent shootings in this country is higher than any other country in the world; Although the United States accounts for about 5 percent of the world's population, nearly 31 percent of those who commit mass murder are armed.
In addition, statistics from the Congressional Research Service show that Americans own about half (48%) of the total 650 million civilian weapons in the world.
