The Richmond news comes after a gunman opened fire during an Independence Day celebration in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Illinois, killing seven people and injuring dozens more.

The alleged Richmond plot, which appears to have been thwarted, was scheduled on the same day that a shooter opened fire from a rooftop during a Fourth of July in the affluent Chicago neighborhood of Highland Park. Seven counts of murder were brought against Robert E. Crimo III on Tuesday. Following the shooting, which caused hundreds of people to flee in terror, an intense manhunt began. Authorities have not yet determined the reason behind the attack. An attempted mass shooting that won't get much media attention, for obvious reasons.

An attempted mass shooting that won't get much media attention, for obvious reasons. Levar Stoney, the mayor of Richmond, called the mass shootings an "epidemic" across the country and urged the U.S. Congress to go beyond the bipartisan gun legislation that was signed into law last month. Stoney said: "There is mayor after mayor across this country who are frustrated by the current state." He further added: "We need more. If members of Congress — both Democrats and Republicans — want to pat themselves on the back and say they’ve done something, come to urban areas like Richmond on a day-to-day basis, weekend-to-weekend, and you’re going to see for yourself, we need more." According to data provided by the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit monitoring such instances, over 300 mass shootings have occurred in the U.S. in the past 186 days — adding to an already violent spring and summer in the country.
