De abril del 2020 a julio de 2021 se registraron 343 tiroteos masivos, 217 personas fallecidas y mil 498 personas heridas

De acuerdo con una investigación publicada en la revista JAMA Open Network, los tiroteos en Estados Unidos registraron un aumento durante los primeros meses de la pandemia.

Simplemente en julio de 2020, revela esta investigación, estos actos se duplicaron en comparación con el año 2019.

La investigación se basó en los datos de abril del 2020 y julio del 2021 del Gun Violence Archive sobre los tiroteos masivos.

Este periodo abarca 15 meses, en los cuales hubo 343 tiroteos masivos, 217 personas fallecidas y mil 498 personas heridas más en Estados Unidos de lo que se había proyectado.

Los investigadores encontraron que fue después de mayo del 2020 que las cifras comenzaron a aumentar

Hubo 88 tiroteos de este tipo en julio de 2020, 42 en julio de 2019 y 45 en julio de 2018, señaló el equipo.

La policía de las ciudades del país norteamericano informó que también hubo un aumento de violencia a mano armada durante la pandemia.

En Chicago, los tiroteos han aumentado un 64% en lo que va del año en comparación con el mismo periodo de hace dos años. (Con información de CNN)
