BJS has released "Trends and Patterns in Firearm Violence, 1993–2023". This report examines trends and patterns in firearm violence from 1993 to 2023 using a combination of data sources to provide a broad perspective on firearm violence in the United States. It presents statistics on fatal and nonfatal firearm violence, including firearm type, incident location, victim and offender demographic characteristics, victim-offender relationship, injury and treatment type, police notification, and victims’ self-protective behaviors.

Estimates in this report are based primarily on data from BJS’s National Crime Victimization Survey [ [link removed] ]. Additional estimates come from CDC’s National Violent Death Reporting System, National Syndromic Surveillance Program, and Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
