With the vast majority of victims also being black. Gun violence impacts the black community substantually more, but it isn't caused by whites.

While all the attention is placed on the recent Boulder and Atlanta shootings, there are that many victims killed every day in cities like Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, Washington DC, Chicago, and others.
