At least so far, this was 2020.
19,350 gun homicides in 2020
Gun suicides 24,245 in 2020.

It's a black neighborhood if that makes a difference.
*While I was composing my witty comments, the number of casualties changed from 8 to 10. I don't know, 10 Hail Marys seems excessive ?
Buffalo police said earlier Saturday afternoon that the alleged shooter was in custody.
