The latest mass shooting in America took place in Philadelphia over the weekend and has claimed the life of a former boxer. Details remain scarce, but it is believed there were multiple shooters, and so far no one has been apprehended. According to local television station Fox29, welterweight Greg Jackson was among the three dead. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw asserted that one of the two deceased male victims may have been involved in a fight which may have been the 'genesis' of the shooting, so Jackson **may** have had some roole in this tragedy. Inactive since 2019, the 34 year-old Jackson had an 11-7-1 record with three straight victories. Boxingtalk sends its sympathies to the friends and family of Greg Jackson as well as to all of the victims of American gun violence, which has been tolerated by our politicial leaders for too long.
