There were 728 road-rage incidents with a gun last year, with more than 500 people injured or killed. A report by Everytown for Gun Safety says this is the highest rate in six years.

A gunfight between two people at a car show injured bystanders including six children, in what was the largest mass casualty event due to gun violence so far this year. There is no indication that the shooters were targeting anyone else but each other.

The number of recent violent events spread across the country has many questioning whether the rising level of violence will continue to climb throughout the summer—and what that will do to communities. Some are trying to find alternatives, like summer anti-violence programs, while others are taking their frustration to the streets to demand change.
