"shot" does not mean "killed".

What I can find is roughly 315 people getting shot every day in the US. Out of 333m, that's roughly 1 in 1m daily. In a room of 400 that's 1 per 6.8 years.

Good point. Still, though your numbers get to a similarly outlandish time period.

absolutely, it's 3 times more, but still 3 orders of magnitude short.
