When you think about gun deaths, what comes to mind? 

Whatever the narrative, in Wisconsin, it probably revolves around Milwaukee. You may think of the homicides that plague some neighborhoods.

Or maybe it’s an accidental shooting, after a young child gets ahold of a gun that wasn’t locked up.

Or when a police officer shoots someone, or is shot, in the line of duty; or when someone kills another person after being attacked.
