Washington (AFP) – President Barack Obama decried what he called the « pattern » of mass shootings in the United States after an incident in California Wednesday, and reiterated his call for tougher gun controls.

« The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world, » Obama told CBS News.

« There are some steps we could take, not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don’t happen as frequently. »
