NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Four out of every 10 gun-related deaths in cities were suicides, an 11 percent increase since 2014, finds an analysis of firearm deaths in more than 750 U.S. cities from 2014 through 2020. Firearm homicide rates in cities also increased approximately 18 percent, with a steep increase in 2020.*

    Though homicide deaths in cities capture most of the headlines and public attention, nearly half (four out of every 10) of gun deaths in cities are, in fact, suicides.
  • Cities in states with the strongest gun violence prevention laws have about half the rate of gun suicides as those in states with the weakest laws.
