President Joe Biden on Tuesday again called for further gun restrictions following a string of deadly shootings as the nation celebrates Independence Day.

“Today, Jill and I grieve for those who have lost their lives,” Biden said in a statement. “We pray for the day when our communities will be free from gun violence.”

Over the past few days, shootings in Philadelphia; Fort Worth, Texas; Baltimore; and Wichita, Kan. have left at least nine people dead and dozens of others injured. As of mid-June, the U.S. has seen the most mass killings and deaths up to that point in a single year.
