A study showed that between 2018 and 2021, the firearm death rate rose 41.5% for children.
A new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics says firearm deaths among children reached a new record high in 2021.
The study showed 4,572 kids were killed by guns in 2021, a rate of 5.8 per 100,000 people. That's an 8.8% increase from the year before. Martinez runs a youth foundation in Denver dedicated to keeping kids away from violence by using music education, and he has been fighting against youth violence for a decade. He says there are many reasons why this trend is increasing.
White males under 19 were most likely to use guns in suicides, but the study reports gun homicides among kids disproportionately affected communities of color — in particular Black boys. That's something Martinez is far too familiar with.
