ela. A man shot and killed two women in the parking lot of a church in Iowa on Thursday evening. He then pointed the gun at himself. This was reported by the police. This is the latest in a series of shootings that have rocked the United States recently: the Buffalo, Uvalde and Tulsa massacres. Two people attending a funeral at a cemetery in Racine, Wisconsin, were wounded in another shooting incident Thursday.

The Iowa incident happened outside of Cornerstone Church, a fundamentalist Christian church east of the city of Ames, while a service was being held inside, said Nicholas Lennie, chief deputy chief of the Story County Police Department.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found all three people dead, Lennie said. He could not provide any information about the identities or the relationship between the three people.
