People attempting to kill others are not as accurate shooters as suiciders. When they may try to kill someone else, they may hit but not kill them. Between Trauma care and bad shooting, lots of neighborhood shootings are not fatal. And even when they survive, black gun violence survivors suffer. First, Doctors are more biased when they treat black victims than whites. Whites are mostly hailed as heroes, Black victims get assigned criminality forgetting that they are victims, not the perpetrator.

What happens to black survivors of gun violence? After all, surviving gun injury is expensive. Involved are multiple morbidities such as depression, PTSD, multiple surgeries, disabilities, loss of a job, homelessness.

This is a largely unexplored field but it's so important. Racial disparity in survivors of gun violence is the focus of Dr. Kalesan's research.
