Teen violence drove spike in gun deaths, contrary to popular 'talking point', expert says
Active shooting instructor Alex Coker gives his take on what can be done to keep kids safe while in school on 'Fox News @ Night.'from 2019 to 2021 was driven by older teens, likely tied to shutdowns of in-school learning during the pandemic, and follows the skyrocketing crime trend the U.S. witnessed in 2020, according to an expert.
The Pew study found that older children and teens were more likely to be killed in a shooting than younger children, finding that"those ages 12 to 17 accounted for 86% of all gun deaths among children and teens in 2021." "And while there’s a slight and worrying uptick in teen gun suicides between 2019 and 2021, it’s also clear that this is not even close to the most significant factor in rising juvenile gun death," she added."Instead, this is a problem driven largely by a sharp increase in gun homicides among older teenagers, predominantly those who are 14 to 18 years old.
