Another Shooting Death at Another Women’s Center: This One is In Texas

In the midst of the San Bernardino mass shooting that killed at least 14 people and injured at least 14 more, we have reports of another shooting death. This one is at another medical facility, Clinica Hispana, which is a women’s clinic in Houston, Texas. Houston police have confirmed one death but have not confirmed if the dead is a victim or suspect.

Local ABC13 reported that the Houston police are investigating a shooting death outside of Clinica Hispana:

HPD homicide detectives are at the Clinica Hispana at 8410 Fondren. A police source says there was a shooting, and two people have been detained.

Police have set up a large perimeter in the parking lot of the strip center as they investigate.

Clinica Hispana provides medical services for women, including according to their website, “… complete OB-GYN services including checkups, pregnancy services, and ultrasounds. We also offer contraception and Essure permanent birth control.”

So far this year, there have been more mass shootings than there have been days, according to the Boston Globe’s numbers. There have been “355 mass shooting incidents. There have been 336 days.”

So the occasional case where someone shoots twenty people but only kills one or two are not even counted. Then add in all the shootings with fewer than four fatalities, which is the accepted "standard" for mass shootings.

How Often Do Mass Shootings Occur? On Average, Every Day, Records Show
By SHARON LaFRANIERE, SARAH COHEN and RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.DEC. 2, 2015

More than one a day.

That is how often, on average, shootings that left four or more people wounded or dead occurred in the United States this year, according to compilations of episodes derived from news reports.

Including the worst mass shooting of the year, which unfolded horrifically on Wednesday in San Bernardino, Calif., a total of 462 people have died and 1,314 have been wounded in such attacks this year, many of which occurred on streets or in public settings, the databases indicate.
