UNITED STATES – United States President Joe Biden calling on Congress to send a bill banning assault weapons to his desk as soon as possible. The request follows recent back-to-back mass shootings that killed 18 people in California.

In two separate shootings within three days, 11 people were killed at a Los Angeles-area dance hall and seven others were murdered at two farms in the seaside town of Half Moon Bay near San Francisco.

Authorities said they still were trying to determine motives for both shootings.
