"157 Unintentional Child-Related Shootings Reported in Last Year, Everytown Reveals"
Everytown reports that at least 157 people were killed and 270 injured in unintentional shootings by children last year, with incidents often involving teenagers or young children. The lack of comprehensive national data on unintentional shootings has spurred the advocacy group to call for better tracking and public data to prevent such tragedies. Firearms remain a leading cause of accidental child death, and efforts to promote safe firearm storage are being emphasized by advocates.
