The Gun Death Rate in the US Nears Three-Decade High

(January 2023) In January the Gun Violence Archive released final figures on gun-related violence in 2022. Here are key takeaways.

  • After in 2021 more Americans died of gun-related injuries than in any other year on record, in 2022  the Gun Violence Archive registered slightly fewer gun death. Overall, gun death excluding suicides declined to 20,181 incidents, which is 827 deaths less compared to 2021.
  • A record number of America's kids were injured or killed by gunfire in 2022. According to the Gun Violence Archive more than 6,000 children and teens were injured or killed in shootings. That's the most in a single year since the database began tracking nine years ago.
  • The number of mass shootings (4 or more shot), declined slightly from 690 in 2021 to 648 in 2022, but the number of mass murders (4 or more people killed) increased by 30%, from 28 in 2021 to 36 in 2022.
