A US man has been arrested for allegedly shooting in the direction of a fellow barber shop customer after a dispute about the Newtown school shooting, US media have reported.
Lester Davis, 57, allegedly fired at a man who reportedly said he wanted to kill the suspect in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Police say Davis, for unknown reasons, took the remark as a threat and asked, "You want to murder me?"
Davis then allegedly got a pistol from his car and fired three times in the customer's direction.
No one was hurt in the incident at the All Cuts barber shop in Wentzville, Missouri on Tuesday.
US police say two people are dead and another is injured after a shooting at a central Florida Veterans of Foreign Wars post.
Winter Springs Police said a charity motorcycle ride was supposed to depart from the post when the shooting broke out on Sunday morning while the riders were eating breakfast.
Local papers reported an unknown number of armed men came in and began firing.
It's unclear if anyone shot back.
Veterans of Foreign Wars posts around the country care for veterans and their families.

Kiaran Stapleton, 21, has already admitted killing Anuj Bidve, 23, who was shot dead at close range while walking with friends through the Ordsall area of Salford in the early hours of December 26 last year.
Stapleton, from Ordsall, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility at a hearing on June 1.
But his guilty plea to manslaughter was not accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service and he will now stand trial for murder.
The defendant is accused of approaching Mr Bidve, a complete stranger to him, and shooting him dead.
