According to the 84-page report from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, gun violence resulted in an average of three deaths and 12 injuries per week between 2019 and 2023.
Pamela Price, during a news conference, emphasized that gun violence showcases stark disparities in race and ethnicity, highlighting the urgent need to address these issues.
The report attributes the rise in gun violence primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic's economic and social service disruptions, increased gun ownership, and the rise of untraceable ghost guns.
The findings suggest that various socio-economic factors such as poverty, domestic violence, and lack of opportunity contribute to the high rates of gun violence in the community.
