拜登呼吁国会实施枪支改革
美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)周日发表声明，呼吁国会制定“常识性”枪支控制立法，以回应周末在阿拉巴马州和肯塔基州发生的枪击事件，该事件共造成6人死亡。
拜登说:“今天早上，我们的国家再次为至少四名美国人在阿拉巴马州达德维尔的一个青少年生日派对上丧生以及昨晚在路易斯维尔一个拥挤的公园里丧生感到悲痛。”“吉尔和我为他们的家人祈祷，也为在本周末的枪支暴力事件中受伤并为生命而战的其他人祈祷。”
正如他在以前的大规模枪击事件中所做的那样，拜登敦促国会制定枪支改革立法。
“当孩子们不能毫无畏惧地参加生日聚会时，我们的国家会变成什么样子?每当孩子出门去学校、电影院或公园时，父母都要担心吗?”拜登说。"枪支是美国儿童的头号杀手，而且这个数字还在上升，而不是下降."
拜登说，美国的枪支暴力水平是“令人愤慨和不可接受的”，并指出美国人“同意并希望立法者就常识性的枪支安全改革采取行动。”
“相反，在过去的一周里，美国人看到全国共和党当选领导人与全国步枪协会站在一起，在进一步削弱枪支安全的危险法律上竞争到底。我们的社区需要也应该得到更好的。

4 people killed, 28 hurt in shooting at Alabama birthday party
At least four people were killed and multiple others injured when a shooting broke out late Saturday at a crowded birthday party in a small rural Alabama town, authorities said.
The shooting in Dadeville, Alabama, about 60 miles northeast of Montgomery, unfolded around 10:34 p.m., according to a statement released Sunday morning by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
Special agents from ALEA launched a death investigation at the request of the Dadeville Police Chief, according to the ALEA statement.
ALEA released no further details.
Brownie Caldwell, a Dadeville city council member councilwoman, confirmed to ABC News that an investigation of a shooting at a venue in downtown Dadeville was underway Sunday morning. Caldwell referred all questions to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
28 injured, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says
The number of people injured during the course of the incident is 28, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Sunday.
Some of those injuries are critical, and there's a wide variety of injures, according to the ALEA.
Authorities didn't mention a suspect or suspects, or an arrest, as of Sunday evening. Police said earlier in the day there was "no public safety risk at this time."

Star high school athlete killed in shooting
One of the four people killed in the mass shooting in Dadeville, Alabama, was a star high school football player and track team member, his coach told ABC News.
Philstavious "Phil" Dowdell, a senior at Dadeville High School, had committed to attending Jacksonville State University on a football scholarship, said coach Roger McDowell.
McDowell said Dowdell was at a sweet 16 birthday party at a venue in Dadeville Saturday night when a shooting erupted.
In addition to those killed, at least 28 people were injured. McDowell said Dowdell's mother, who was a chaperone at the party, was among those hurt, shot twice in the legs.
Rich Rodriguez, Jacksonville State's head football coach, said in a post on Twitter Sunday, that the death of Dowdell and the other victims is a "senseless tragedy."
"He was a great young man with a bright future," Rodriguez tweeted. "My staff and I are heartbroken and hope that everyone will support his family through this difficult time."
McDowell said he also knew a teenage girl who was killed in the shooting. He said she was a senior and the manager of the track and football teams.
In addition to being a standout wide receiver, Dowdell was also a member of the high school track team, McDowell said.
"Phil was humble with a major smile," McDowell told ABC News. "He had one goal to get to the NFL and take care of his mom."
Biden calls on congress to enact gun reform
President Joe Biden released a statement Sunday calling on Congress to enact "common sense" gun control legislation in response to shootings over the weekend in Alabama and Kentucky that left a total of six people dead.
"This morning, our nation is once again grieving for at least four Americans tragically killed at a teen’s birthday party in Dadeville, Alabama as well as two others killed last night in a crowded public park in Louisville," Biden said. "Jill and I are praying for their families, and for the many others injured and fighting for their lives in the wake of this weekend’s gun violence."
As he has done in previous mass shootings, Biden urged Congress to enact gun reform legislation.
"What has our nation come to when children cannot attend a birthday party without fear? When parents have to worry every time their kids walk out the door to school, to the movie theater, or to the park?" Biden said. "Guns are the leading killer of children in America, and the numbers are rising -- not declining."
Biden said the level of gun violence in America is "outrageous and unacceptable," and noted that Americans "agree and want lawmakers to act on common sense gun safety reforms."
"Instead, this past week Americans saw national Republican elected leaders stand alongside the NRA in a race to the bottom on dangerous laws that further erode gun safety. Our communities need and deserve better," said Biden.
