The nation is enduring the pain of another mass shooting after a gunman opened fire Saturday at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. He killed eight people, including children, and wounded at least seven others before being killed by police.

As of Monday, there have been 202 mass shootings within the year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
