At least six children were killed in shootings across the country over the holiday weekend, sparking calls from officials to end the gun violence plaguing their communities.

The children, ages 6 to 14, were all shot and killed while doing everyday things—riding in mom’s car, walking in a mall, and playing in a yard with their cousins.
