Check again for me. I am a bit ill today and may have made a mistake, but I think the article was trying to say the shooting was in Ohio, but the hospital is in Kentucky. Did I mess that up?

It’s the other way around. Florence is a Kentucky suburb in the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area. [Cincinnati is in Ohio but borders Kentucky]

> Four people were killed and three others were injured in a mass shooting early Saturday morning inside a home where people were celebrating a 21st birthday party in northern Kentucky, according to police. Officers found seven victims suffering from gunshot wounds shortly before 3 a.m. after receiving calls of an active shooter at a home on Ridgecrest Drive in Florence, southwest of Cincinnati, Ohio…
> 
> Three of the victims were transported to a hospital in Cincinnati and are listed in critical but stable condition, according to a statement by police.

Lots of changes.

We have a new #4;

1. 14 January 2024 Puyallup WA, 4\* killed (vehicular homicide/drunk driving) ([Driver in crash that killed 4 kids had BAC double the legal limit, Washington investigators say | king5.com](https://www.king5.com/article/news/crime/driver-puyallup-deadly-crash-blood-alcohol-level/281-17d2ba78-f059-4f32-861d-58ac508ee770))

So while I was adding in that one in, I also moved three pending cases of driving on the wrong side of a divided highway to the list. That is a whopping four new cases with 16 new deaths.

Incidents 53  
Killed 229

Rather than repost the whole list, I will point you it on Reddit;
