Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a criminally assaulted shooting?
Fatal and non-fatal shooting incidents with a victim, excluding accidental shootings, justifiable homicides, self-defense shootings, and suicides.
What is Group Member Involved (GMI)?
GMI stands for Group Member Involved. Non- GMI is any shooting classification not related to group violence.
Why “Group” instead of gang?
According to the National Network for Safe Communities, an exclusive focus on gangs, which is often understood to include notions like organization and leadership, will exclude a significant number of groups that contribute heavily to serious violence, such as loosely affiliated neighborhood drug crews.
Therefore, group member involved shootings are included in the stats throughout this page.
