In Lafayette, Louisiana, this week, a 59-year-old gunman killed at least two people in a movie theater before committing suicide. It’s the latest of a nationwide string of mass shootings in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, a group of evangelical and Muslim leaders condemned last week’s shootings in Chattanooga by a young Muslim man that took the lives of five servicemen. The leaders said they were working to strengthen national security, and they pledged to safeguard the religious and civil liberties of American Muslims who face stereotyping and threats in the wake of the attacks.
