Mother Jones reports that 194 children have been killed by gunshots in this last year since the Newtown tragedy. Most of them were killed in their own homes or in the homes of friends or relatives. 72 shot themselves or were shot by another child–52 of them because a gun had been left unsecured. Only four adults have been held criminally liable.
60 kids were shot dead by one of their parents. 2/3 of the victims and 3/4 of those doing the shooting were boys.
Sad. Horrific. Heart-breaking. Mind-boggling. Senseless
