We’re compiling news reports of shootings amid and attributed to COVID-19.

America is facing an epidemic within a pandemic. As COVID-19 strains our healthcare system, our nation continues to battle the uniquely American epidemic of gun violence that kills 100 people every single day.

The COVID-19 global pandemic risks exacerbating gun violence in all of its forms, including domestic violence, unintentional shootings, firearm suicide, and everyday gun violence. So far, the devastating results have left public health and government officials pleading for an end to the violence, as gun violence victims compete for space and vital resources inside our health system’s overcrowded intensive care units.

When our nation overcomes the COVID-19 global pandemic, the epidemic of gun violence will not have paused. One woman will still be shot and killed by a former or current partner nearly every 16 hours; eight children and teens will still be unintentionally injured or killed due to an unlocked or unsupervised gun in the home; and Black men will still be 13 times more likely than white men to be shot and killed with a gun.

To illustrate how a pandemic and an epidemic intersect, we’re compiling headlines about gun deaths and injuries amid and attributed to the coronavirus outbreak. This list will be regularly updated.
