Quote:Author Stephen King railed against gun violence in the wake of Wednesday’s mass shooting in Maine, calling for people to “stop electing apologists for murder.”

“It’s the rapid-fire killing machines, people,” King wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “This is madness in the name of freedom. Stop electing apologists for murder.”

Quote:CLINTON, N.C. (AP) — Five people were found fatally shot at a southeast North Carolina home early Thursday, according to the local sheriff.

Sampson County Sheriff Jimmy Thornton said deputies were called to the home off Garland Highway outside Clinton shortly before 1 a.m. for a report of a homicide and found five people dead with gunshot wounds.

Investigators don’t have any information about a suspect and don’t know how the people who were killed knew each other, Thornton said in a news release.

Authorities received a 911 call from a person who spoke to one victim around 11 p.m. and then found the bodies when they stopped by the home, Capt. Eric Pope said in a news conference. The victims are four men and one woman who range in age from their mid-30s to 80s, he said.

Quote:Newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said guns aren’t the problem and now isn’t the time for gun control in his first national interview on Thursday, a day after 18 people were killed in a mass shooting in Maine.

“At the end of the day, the problem is the human heart. It’s not guns. It’s not the weapons.” Johnson said in a Fox News interview with host Sean Hannity on Thursday.

Johnson said now is “not the time” for gun control, citing his belief in the Second Amendment.

“At the end of the day, we have to protect the right of the citizens to protect themselves, and that’s the Second Amendment. And that’s why our party’s stands so strongly for that,” he said. “I agree with the comments of your guests there: This is not the time to be talking about legislation. We’re in the middle of that crisis right now.”
