(AP) Families are planning funerals, politicians are pointing fingers and the death toll is rising as the U.S. reels from twin mass shootings.

Thirty-one people have now died after the weekend rampages in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.

President Donald Trump addressed the violence in a White House speech.

In a 10-minute address, he condemned racism and rehashed national conversations on treatment for mental health problems, depiction of violence in the media, and discourse on the internet, putting blame in part on the internet and social media, and expressing vague openness to some gun reforms.

Trump said: “Hate has no place in America.”

A crowd at a vigil honoring nine adults killed and others wounded by a gunman in Dayton interrupted a speech by Ohio’s Republican governor with shouts of “Make a change.”

As Gov. Mike DeWine told the crowd Sunday evening that the families’ pain can’t be erased, many started chanting: “Do something!”

Mayor Nan Whaley sought to calm them, saying the vigil was intended for the victims and there will be time later for dealing with policy issues.

As names of the slain victims were read aloud, the audience repeated each one.

Police say the shooter, 24-year-old Connor Betts, opened fire in the area around 1 a.m. Sunday in a popular entertainment district, killing his sister and eight others. Police say he was fatally shot by officers within 30 seconds.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen says authorities are investigating a hate crime as among the possible motives in the shopping complex shooting that left 20 people dead and 26 more wounded.

The chief says authorities are looking into an online writing that indicated a potential connection to a hate crime to determine if it belonged to the suspected gunman.

Law enforcement officials have said a 21-year-old Dallas-area man named Patrick Crusius is in custody in the shooting. The officials were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press about his identity on condition of anonymity.

Police say most of the victims of Saturday’s attack appear to have been at a Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall.
