Ohio gun violence costs lives, millions of dollars :: 05/30/2011
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Gun violence in Ohio is costing scores of lives and millions of dollars annually across the state, though much of it happens in the largest cities, according to a newspaper analysis published Sunday.
The Columbus Dispatch analyzed state records and data from 2009, which offer the most recent statewide statistics available. It found guns were present in more than 12,500 incidents investigated by authorities, an average of 34 per day. Four-fifths of those happened in seven of Ohio's largest cities: Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown.
