Now the post says shot and not killed. I think that distinction is important. But I imagine those statistics are insane.

I fact checked in other comments 😉 OP is fairly accurate overall, but I didn't include gunshots since I couldn't find reliable enough stats on non-fatal.

It’s insane because it’s still bullshit, 1 in 400 would mean that over 800,000 Americans get shot every day, and every single person in America gets shot every 13 months or so.
