Five critically injured in Louisiana shooting

Five people were hospitalized after being shot and injured in Shreveport, Louisiana, CBS-affiliated television station KSLA reported late on Sunday, the third multiple shooting reported in the United States with 24 hours.

Jayson Albano reports.

Five people were shot and critically injured during a drive-by shooting in Louisiana on Sunday evening.

That's according to local TV reports; station KSLA also says it took place at a Shreveport liquor store.

Reports say police described the injuries of the victims as life-threatening.

All five have since been hospitalised.

KSLA also reported that the police were on the lookout for a white Ford car.

Reuters was not immediately able to contact Shreveport police or the local mayor's office.

The incident is the third mass shooting reported within 24 hours in the United States.

Earlier on Sunday, three people were shot dead at an apartment complex in Austin, Texas.

Authorities were reportedly still hunting for a former deputy sheriff in connection to that shooting.

In Kenosha County, Wisconsin, three others were shot dead and two wounded in a bar.

Sunday's incidents are just the latest in a surge of gun massacres in recent weeks.

Over the past month alone, the country has seen at least seven deadly mass shootings.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, most Americans support tougher gun laws, though Washington has done little to address the problem in recent years

Ford Orders Recall Over Potential SUV Gas Leak [Video]

Ford Orders Recall Over Potential SUV Gas Leak

Ford Orders Recall , Over Potential SUV Gas Leak. ABC reports that Ford has ordered a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs due to a potential risk of fire. . The recall impacts some Bronco Sport SUVs from 2022 and 2023, as well as 2022's Escape SUVs. . According to Ford, gasoline can leak from fuel injectors near or onto hot engine surfaces, which increases the risk of starting fires. The recall does not reportedly include repairing any potential fuel leak, which the company claims only impacts about 1% of their SUVs. ABC reports that Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, has called Ford's decision a "Band-aid type recall.". Brooks claims that even a 1% failure rate is high and places drivers at potential risk for a crash. The NHTSA said that it lacks legal authority to pre-approve recall fixes. . The agency added that it would, "closely track their performance using field data.". However, Brooks suggests that Congress needs to change laws so that the NHTSA can , "require something more than the rubber stamp that NHTSA is currently deploying.”. That is a post-remedy inquiry that won't make the fixes better, and further stretches out the process and leaves consumers in limbo. , Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, via ABC
