Firearms have surpassed motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of death among American youngsters, with official data showing a strong rise in gun-related homicides such as the killing of 19 children in a Texas school rampage.

Overall, 4,368 children and adolescents up to the age of 19 died from firearms in 2020, a rate of 5.4 per 100,000 a dashboard by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed.By comparison, there were 4,036 deaths linked to motor vehicles, the previous leading cause of death among this age group.

The letter's authors noted the new data was consistent with other evidence that gun violence rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, for reasons that aren't fully clear, but "it cannot be assumed that will later revert to pre-pandemic levels." By region, the gun-related death rate was highest in the capital Washington, followed by the state of Louisiana, then Alaska.
