According to the Brady Campaign, on average, for the five most recently available years for which statistics are available, every day in America there are:
291 people in America are shot (including 52 children (ages 0-19)
87 people die from gun violence:
32 are murdered (including 6 children)
51 kill themselves (including 2 children)
2 die unintentionally
1 is killed by police intervention
1, intent unknown
205 are shot and survive:
148 shot in an assault (including 34 children)
10 survive a suicide attempt (including 1 child)
45 are shot unintentionally (including 9 children)
2 are shot in a police intervention
If we take these numbers and divide them equally over the course of a day, this is an average day in America:
