There had been no large-scale shootings in the US for a year before then, though other types of shootings increased last year.
Congress will be under increased pressure to respond to the shootings in a previously scheduled hearing about gun violence on Tuesday.
Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, tweeted: “This Senate must and will move forward on legislation to help stop the epidemic of gun violence.”
