Three Mass Shootings Leave Two Dead, Dozens Injured in U.S.
-----------------------------------------------------------

In South Carolina, nine people were injured early Sunday as gunshots
rang out at a nightclub in the town of Furman. It was the second mass
shooting in South Carolina over the weekend, following a Saturday
shootout at a shopping mall in Columbia that left 14 people injured.
Meanwhile, police in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are searching for
suspects who opened fire on a party at an Airbnb property early Sunday,
killing two 17-year-old boys and injuring at least a dozen other people.
Pittsburgh officials say as many as 200 people were attending the party
- many of them underage - when multiple assailants fired at least 90
rounds from handguns and at least one rifle. Among the injured were
people who leapt from high windows to escape the violence.
