This year close to 12,000 people have been killed in gun violence incidents, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit organization that tracks shootings via media and police reports. That works out to around 42 victims of gun violence per day, a figure which does not include suicides. Sunday alone there were at least 24 fatal shooting incidents in the United States, including the Las Vegas shooting, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Weber City, Va.: Todd Allen Richardson, 44, fatally shot his estranged wife after inviting her to his house to collect her belongings. Indianapolis: A teenager was fatally shot about 4 a.m. after a family member mistook him for an intruder in the home.
