Violence In America

The level of civility in American political life has declined, according to  a majority of voters, who expect political violence to increase in the next few years.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 72% of Likely U.S. Voters say, in thinking about the overall tone and civility in American politics over recent years, the level of civility has gotten worse. Just 12% think the level of civility has gotten better, and another 12% believe it has stayed about the same. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

At least three people have died and five others were injured in a restaurant shooting that erupted at a Cinco de Mayo family party in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday night, police said.

"There are three dead people from this incident, and there's a total of five other victims having sustained some sort of injury from either shrapnel or gunshot wounds," Officer Moroni Mendez of the Glendale Police Department said during a news conference on Sunday night, NBC News reported.

No arrests have been made, but police said there is no ongoing danger to the public.

Three Denver-area teens cheered each other during a night of throwing rocks at cars — until one of the stones crashed through a windshield and killed a woman, leading to a murder conviction Friday after the trio turned on one another.

Ignoring it won’t make it go away.

Network correspondent Donie O’Sullivan suggested recently — with a straight face — that political violence in the United States is almost entirely a right-wing phenomenon and that there simply is "no equivalent on the left."

This isn’t just untrue. It’s dangerous.

A father whose child was murdered in the Parkland High School shooting revealed that several of his daughter’s surviving classmates were at Florida State University when a gunman opened fire on students there Thursday.

President Donald Trump addressed Thursday's shooting at Florida State University.

Several people are hospitalized with injuries after an active shooter was reported on the Florida State University campus in Tallahassee Thursday. 

Florida State University officials are advising people to “seek shelter and await further instructions” amid reports of an active shooter on campus.

All classes and events were canceled for the rest of the day and students and staff not currently on campus were told to avoid coming to the school.

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare said it is actively receiving and caring for patients related to the incident but did not have specific information to share.

After a man tried to assassinate Donald Trump in July at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the state’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, quickly issued a statement condemning the attempt on the Republican presidential candidate’s life.

“Violence targeted at any political party or political leader is absolutely unacceptable,” Shapiro posted on X that day. “It has no place in Pennsylvania or the United States. I have been briefed on the situation. @PAStatePolice are on the scene in Butler County and working with our federal and local partners.”

Less than a year ago, in July, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro found himself in a position no politician ever wants to face.

He had to address the attempted assassination of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, which had taken place at a rally in his state. Shapiro also spoke about the murder of Corey Comperatore, a Pennsylvania husband and father who had attended the campaign event.

Shapiro, a Democrat, handled the horrific situation with grace and heartfelt emotion. And he spoke to deepening political rifts in the country.
