Gun injuries send more Americans, especially kids, to emergency rooms FMTNews FMTWorld
The study comes at the heels of another shooting in a Christian grade school in Nashville which killed three 9-year-olds.
Of all age groups, those between 0–14 years experienced the largest increase in the proportion of gun injury emergency room visits, the study said. About 40 children and young adolescents with gun injuries visited U.S. emergency rooms each week on average in 2022, up from 2019’s weekly average of about 29.
The CDC said the Covid-19 pandemic created challenges that might have influenced the risk for firearm injury among children and adolescents, such as social isolation, limited access to mental health services, heightened housing and financial insecurity, and more time spent at home, potentially increasing access to guns.
Monday’s incident in Nashville marked the nation’s 90th school shooting – defined as any incident in which a gun is discharged on school property – of 2023, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database, a website founded by researcher David Riedman. There were 303 such incidents in 2022, the highest of any year in the database, which goes back to 1970.
