Houston Gun Deaths

For five years we did an informal study of the details behind gun related deaths in Houston. By simply looking in the paper every day we were able to see how and when homicides happen.  Many people believe that gun homicides only happen among gang members or during robberies.

However, if you review these reports, you will see that most of handgun homicides happen among people that know each other, many of these relatives.  This list doesn't include suicides.
