The number of mass killings in the US had risen despite the overall number of homicides going down, said James Densley, a

criminologist and professor at Metropolitan State University in Minnesota.
"As a percentage of homicides, these mass killings are also accounting for more deaths," he told AP.
Prof Densley said he believed the spike was partly a consequence of an "angry and frustrated time" in US society, but he added that

crimes tended to occur in waves.
"This seems to be the age of mass shootings," he said.
Gun ownership rights are enshrined in the second amendment of the US constitution, and the spike in mass shootings has done

little to push US lawmakers towards gun control reforms.
In August, following deadly attacks in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, President Donald Trump said "serious discussions" would take place between

But Mr Trump quietly rowed back on that pledge, reportedly after a long phonecall with Wayne LaPierre, the chief executive of the National Rifle Association - a powerful lobby group which opposes gun control measures.
Speaking to reporters after the call, the president said the US had "very strong background checks right now", adding that mass shootings were a "mental problem".
