Two mass shootings that killed 29 people in
Texas and Ohio reverberated across the United States' political arena on Sunday as
Democratic presidential candidates called for stricter gun laws and some accused President
Donald Trump of being a white nationalist.
Dozens were also wounded Saturday and early Sunday in shootings within just 13 hours of each other in carnage that shocked a country that has become grimly accustomed to mass shootings and heightened concerns about domestic terrorism.
Authorities in Texas said the rampage appeared to be a racially motivated hate crime and federal prosecutors are treating it as a case of domestic terrorism.
