Explore gun death data in Wisconsin by county, 2004-2020
People are affected by gun deaths in different ways in Wisconsin and across the country. However, data on gun deaths can be hard to find and track. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel spent months collecting data from each of the state's 72 counties for the project Behind the Gun, led by reporter John Diedrich.
Explore data below, and read the rest of the project here.
About this project
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter John Diedrich examined the full extent of gun deaths in Wisconsin during a nine-month O’Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism at Marquette University.
The project reveals the full picture of gun deaths in the state and tells the stories of people affected by gun deaths and those trying to find solutions.
Diedrich was assisted in the project by Marquette student researchers Alex Rivera Grant and Ben Schultz.
Marquette University and administrators of the program played no role in the reporting, editing or presentation of this project.
