The 2019 Arinals shooting was a mass shooting which occurred on June 28th, 2019, in downtown Arinals, Zian, Zamastan during a parade celebrating the Arinals Rockets' championship victory over Auckandia Union. The shooter, 28-year-old Howard Devanueve, shot and killed 31 people and injured 67 others before he was killed by police. It is the second-deadliest mass shooting in Zamastan's history, only surpassed by the Desdria Jewel Hotel shootings during the 10/18 attacks.
The shooting came at a period of heightened public support for gun control that followed mass shootings. The Arinals attack, as well as the Tirzah Nightclub shooting which occurred only 4 days later, are considered two of the defining moments which swayed Congressional Hall and President Anya Bishop to enact a ban on semi-automatic rifles the following month.
