This is terrible. Thank goodness no one was hurt. What has gotten into people! You can't just shoot at someone when ever you feel like it. Come on people wake up and come to your senses. There is not any reason to do this.

May he stay in jail for a while. Plus, remind me to put a steel plate in my headrest, in case it's not as tough as the victim's!

@Blackbird : It seems like you can't leave the house now without being shot at. I guess the media is just trying to normalize it now at this point. Police and stricter laws don't seem to be a deterrent. I guess its Russian Roulette from now on when you leave home.

What a tragic story. And hearing about shootings everyday does unfortunately "normalize" it

number of guns by statepopulations-3325153" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.thoughtco.com/gu n-owners-percentage- of-state-populations -3325153Texas has the most per capita
1 Texas 725,368According to the Small Arms Survey, there are more than 393 million guns in the U.S.1 That's more than one-third of all civilian-owned guns in the world, making America the No. 1 country in terms of gun ownership.A 2017 survey by the Pew Research Center reveals some more interesting stats about guns in the U.S.2 Handguns are the most common choice of firearm among gun owners, especially those who only own one weapon. The South is the region with the most guns (about 36%), followed by the Midwest and West (32% and 31%, respectively) and the Northeast (16%).Men are more likely than women to own a gun, according to Pew. Thirty-nine percent of men say they own a firearm, while 22% of women do. A closer analysis of this demographic data reveals that about 46% of rural households own guns, while just 19% of urban households do. Thirty-three percent of Americans aged 50 and older own at least one gun. For people between the ages of 30 and 49, 28% own a firearm. In the lowest age group-18- to 29-year-olds-own 27% own a gun. Politically, Republicans are twice as likely as Democrats to own a gun.

@Dorothy : I'm not sure what your trying to prove, criminals are going to use another tool if they don't have access to a gun.

@MalluGuy : other tools are a lot less deadly than guns - especially if the criminal has to get closer to you to actually hurt you.

@Dorothy : Guns are not going to go away and laws don't stop guns or criminals. I think a lot of people today really need to seek mental health help.

@MalluGuy : Of course they are not going away, but note that the US has the most of any country.America's gun homicide rate was more than double the average for all countries, and was at the top of the list for countries with high Socio-demographic Index (SDI) scores, a summary measure of a country's health outcomes. When it came to gun suicides, the U.S. was by far the global leader. Despite accounting for only 4 percent of the global population, America was responsible for more than a third of the world's firearm suicides.www.npr.org/sections /goatsandsoda/2021/0 3/24/980838151/gun-v iolence-deaths-The U.S. has the 32nd-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world: 3.96 deaths per 100,000 people in 2019. That was more than eight times as high as the rate in Canada, which had 0.47 deaths per 100,000 people - and nearly 100 times higher than in the United Kingdom, which had 0.04 deaths per 100,000************************************
The 2019 figures, released last year, paint a fairly rosy picture for much of the world, with deaths due to gun violence rare even in many low-income countries - such as Tajikistan and Gambia, which saw 0.18 deaths and 0.22 deaths, respectively, per 100,000 people.So the US should be ashamed of itself, imo.

@Dorothy: Interesting facts on guns, I am wondering where are the numbers of those that were protected by guns? Considering Chicago has stricter gun laws and yet is more dangerous than Houston when it comes to gun violence. https: //drrichswier.com/2017/07/24/a-tale-of-two-cities-houston-vs-chicago/

@AmandaG85 : That is 2017. Currently Houston is much more dangerous than Chicago.www.fox26houston.com /news/houston-leads- chicago-nyc-and-la-i n-homicides-so-Houston leads Chicago, NYC, and LA in homicides so far this yearwww.bestplaces.net/c rime/?city1=51714000 &city2=54835000Crime
Houston, TX Chicago, IL United States
Violent Crime 50.4 49.9 22.7
Property Crime 63.2 46.3 35.4

Houston may be leading the Country in gun violence, but when they keep letting illegals into our Country, many of whom are dangerous criminals, we are going to have killings. Many of the illegals are fleeing their own Countries to keep from going to prison, and because Texas is closer to the border, we have many of them here in the Houston area. What I find unusual is the gun violence on our roads. You cut somebody off and that guy may follow you for miles to shoot you. My question is...why all the anger?

@Dorothy : According to an FBI report: In addition, 600 people were killed in 2019 with what the FBI refers to as "personal weapons," meaning hands, fists or feet. Knives or other "cutting tools" accounted for another 1,476 homicides - about three times the number killed by rifles.
If someone is going to kill he or she will find a way!
