Local media reported that five people were wounded at the funeral, which was for Da’Shontay L. King Sr., a man who was killed by police in March.

Gun violence-plagued America is reeling from two devastating mass shootings last month: one at a Texas elementary school that killed 21 people, and another at a New York State supermarket that left 10 dead.
