Except for Memphis, Milwaukee, and Louisville, all other cities on this list were extracted from Security.org. In providing this list, Wonder analyzed the number of gun-related injuries, deaths, and incidents occurring in these states. Cities with the most injuries were prioritized, followed by deaths, and then incidents.
The last three (18-20) cities were provided based on 24/7 Wall St. research. Here, the top cities which had not been mentioned by Security.org were included.
