The shootings in the United States are not going away. Two women were killed in a shooting at a church in the town of Ames in Iowa on Thursday evening. Police have also killed the attacker. The church where the shootings took place is about 30 kilometers from a U.S. highway.
"There is not an ongoing threat to the community. There will be no further updates at this time," it added.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds said the shooting was an "act of senseless violence".
"Tonight's act of senseless violence took the lives of two innocent victims at their place of worship. Kevin and I grieve for the families who have suffered an unfathomable loss," she tweeted early Friday morning.
"And while the investigation continues and we learn more, we ask that Iowans pray for the victims and their families, the members of Cornerstone Church, and the entire Ames community."
This incident in Ames follows several high-profile mass shootings.
