Two people were killed and over 30 were wounded in mass shootings overnight in three US states, authorities said on Saturday, stoking concerns that a spike in gun violence could continue into summer as Covid-19 restrictions ease and more people are free to socialize.

In Chicago, a woman was killed and nine other people were wounded when two men opened fire on a group standing on a sidewalk. In the Georgia city of Savannah, police said one man was killed and seven other people were wounded. Among the 14 injured in Austin, two are critically ill.

No arrests have been made so far.
