The use of ghost guns — homemade firearms that can be built from parts bought online or with 3D printers — in U.S. crimes has risen more than 1,000% since 2017, a federal report revealed Wednesday.
Ghost guns are just one of the troubling indicators in which the collected information provided insights into previously unidentified patterns in the use of guns and crime.
Richmond, Detroit, and Colombia, South Carolina, were among the cities with shorter average"time to crime" statistics in the report, while New York, Baltimore, and San Jose were among those with longer average"time to crime" statistics, indicating a common pattern, said Daniel Webster, professor and director at the Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
More than 90% of crime guns were brought by males, with the biggest age group between 21 and 25 years old, the report said.
