US woman goes on highway shooting spree: There were many things American officials were gearing up to face amid the solar eclipse - traffic jams, accidents, eye injuries and more. But this one definitely wasn't on their list.

In a bizarre incident, a woman suddenly shot at two drivers on a Florida interstate and claimed that she was asked by "God" to do so via the solar eclipse, as per the police.

...

Strangely, the Sunshine State was not even close to the path of totality and hence, was supposed to be the least affected by the astronomical phenomenon.

The number of shootings that happen every day in the US.

Oh, then every shooting should be expected in the US by that metric

I mean....yes? Until the systemic issues are fixed, it's not going to stop.
