The problem of guns in the United States surfaced again yesterday after two separate shooting incidents took place.

Four people were killed in the eastern city of Philadelphia when a man walked into a business meeting and started shooting at people. He later shot and killed himself.

A couple of hours later — and a couple of thousand miles to the west — a man entered a shopping mall in Salt Lake City and shot five people to death.

A policeman, who was in the mall, then shot and killed the gunman.

Approximately 30,000 people die because of guns every year in the United States.
