Four people have died in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, while one is dead in a shooting at a funeral home in Washington D.C.

Police say four people have been killed after a shooting in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

According to a neighbour, the shooting happened in a quiet street inside a house occupied by a mother and three children.

Meanwhile in Washington D.C., one man has died and three other people have been hurt in a shooting at a funeral home.

Several people who were standing in the block after the funeral were apparently targeted, but police don’t yet know why.

Police are still working on investigating both shootings.

This comes just a day after a mass shooting occurred at a major Bank in Louisville Kentucky.

At least five people are dead, as well as the gunman, and several others were hurt.

The five dead were colleagues of the gunman who was in his mid-20s.

A doctor who is treating the Louisville victims, begged lawmakers to do something about gun violence in the country.

“I’m weary. There’s only so many times you can walk in the room and tell someone they’re not coming home tomorrow,” Dr. Jason Smith told reporters.

“I would simply ask you to do something. Because doing nothing, which is what we have been doing, is not working.”

Mayor of Louisville, Craig Greenberg, mimicked the doctor’s message in a press conference.

“Change our state law to let Louisville make its own decisions about reducing illegal guns on our streets & gun violence that is killing far too many people,” he said.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
