Young Black women (aged 18-24) are 8 times more likely to die by firearm homicide than young white women (aged 18-24).
Black women in the U.S. were more likely than white women to be killed by a firearm, particularly those in the Northeast and Midwest.
Over 45% of Black Americans believe gun violence is an important issue impacting their neighborhood, compared to only 27% of white Americans."
