Hundreds of people each day are directly impacted by gun violence in the United States, over 36,000 people each year. This includes:
103 people a day who are shot and killed
63 people a day who die from gun suicide
210 people a day who survive gunshot injuries
90 people a day who are shot unintentionally
3 people a day who are shot and killed by law enforcement
The effects of gun violence extends far beyond these statistics. Gun violence impacts the lives of millions of people — those who witness it, those who are friends and family of someone who was shot, those know someone who was shot, and those who live in fear of the next shooting.
