Published in the journal, the study found a consistent relationship between higher temperatures and higher risk of shootings in 100 of the country’s most populated cities.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death among children and teens, and this violence has worsened substantially during the pandemic.

“Cities with high rates of firearm violence should continue to implement firearm-prevention strategies broadly including credible messenger programs and hospital-based violence intervention programs,” Dr. Lyons says.
“The Northeast and Midwest regions are where we see some of the starkest differences in the built environment and other resources, according to race—to me, these inequities are the most interesting and important direction of this work,” Dr. Jay says.
