    These numbers include people who didn’t shoot themselves.

    Gunshot wounds from altercations with law enforcement or accidental discharge of a firearm were rare; the vast majority (n = 655, 90.7%) occurred as a result of assault, intentional self‐harm, attempted suicide, or attempted homicide.

    I hate the way they group shoot by cop with accidental discharge, as if it is an accidental whoopsie
