Local leaders in Los Angeles, California have announced three new gun laws aimed at reducing gun violence. Assemblymember Mike Fong introduced the bills, which include taking guns from people legally prohibited from owning them and requiring local agencies to provide information in languages other than English during emergency situations.
The announcement comes in the wake of more shootings in the area, including one near the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a car-to-car shooting in Cerritos.
Across the US, 2023 is on pace to set a record for mass killings, with 17 mass killings and 88 deaths in the first 111 days of the year.
