US President Donald Trump has called on Democratic and Republican lawmakers to combine background checkswith a prospective immigration reform, as a series of shooting rocked the US over the weekend, APA reports citing Sputnik International.

A man shot 20 people dead at an El Paso shopping centre on Saturday, leaving 26 wounded. Authorities believe the masssacre to be an apparent racially motivated attack, given that the suspect had reportedly published an anti-immigrant manifesto and targeted civilians in a US/Mexico border town.

In a separate attack on a nightlife district in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday night, a gunman killed 9 people and injured 27 others before being shot dead by police. His motives are still unclear; police say the suspect's sisted was among the victims.
