NEW YORK (PIX11) – More than 33,000 people have died from gun violence in the United States so far this year, including more than 1,000 teenagers and 200 children.
Nationally, guns are the leading cause of death among children ages 1 to 17, according to the CDC. The Children’s Defense Fund reported that Black children are six times more likely to die from gun violence than their peers.
