The Other Gun Deaths


Listen Later

Mass shooting deaths represent just a fraction of people killed by gun violence in America, and more than half of all gun deaths are suicides.

The numbers are staggering: in 2020, the most recent year with available data, 45,000 people in America were killed by guns. This episode, a few of the people touched by that violence share their stories.

If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, or contact the Crisis Text Line: text HELLO to 741741.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
