When the language doesn’t fit the mold, I admit the first impression is to get them excluded. But even when gangs only intend to hurt each other, it’s very easy for them to kill innocent bystanders.
I’m adamant that things like suicides should not be excluded from gun statistics. Many people who’ve attempted via knives/pills have survived, and gone on to say they regret their attempt and bounced back.
