Toll of nonfatal gun injuries needs to be addressed, new report finds

Karina Sartiaguin has been commemorating her “second birthday” on Dec. 6 each year, ever since a bullet paralyzed her from the waist down in 2010. 

“I feel like I probably wouldn't think about the day so often if I wouldn’t be living with that outcome,” she told NBC News. “I have to wake up and see my wheelchair, or move myself in my wheelchair. And I’m reminded of that day every day.”

  1. Come on, white kids! You are way behind. You need to start shooting each other as much as the POC kids do.

  2. Garbage from everytown's clowns. What they fail to see is that nearly all the shootings happen in cities with Draconian gun laws. Aka democrat run.

  4. I'm beginning to think triage and emergency medical treatment is improving in Chicago; almost 4000 shot this year, less than 700 shot to death.

    All while almost matching the 2016 shit-show, and considering there were no lockdowns in 2016.

    1. Chicago has had excellent trauma care for decades - they get plenty of practice.

      Remember: 80% of people shot with handguns survive.
      Odds are if you have the worst day of your life, the person causing it will live.

  5. I'm sorry that some nut job shot an innocent girl. This whole story makes me think of the movie, " Minority Report". We should have a Minority Report policing organization to prevent, skinned knees, getting cut with a knife, BB gun injuries, car accidents, slips and falls on ice, etc.etc. Personally, I want to save the world from shaving nicks, paper cuts. And in-grown toe nails. Seriously, if we just shutdown Chicago, statistics would fall. Dramatically.

  6. Simple fact
    Every gun crime is committed by a criminal

  7. Perhaps the drive by types could slow down, or make sure to double tap. Can't leave orphans, gotta take out whole families...
