4 people killed in Chicago subway mass shooting; 278th US mass shooting since 2009.
Four people were shot and killed on a subway train near Chicago, with a suspect in custody. This incident marks the 278th mass shooting in the U.S. since 2009. The majority of these shootings involve handguns (81%), while assault rifles, though used in 16% of cases, result in significantly higher casualties. Proposed prevention measures include mandatory waiting periods, banning large-capacity magazines, and stricter laws for domestic abusers, but neighboring states' lax regulations pose challenges.
