    The epidemic of gun violence affecting the nation’s children continued unabated today.

    In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a 6-year old found a loaded gun in his home and shot himself in the hand.  He is in stable condition at the hospital.

    Also today, at least eleven teenagers were shot and injured in separate episodes of gun violence.  Almost no details were reported, but are listed here with hyperlinks:

    • In Chicago, Illinois, two boys, age 12 and 14 were shot and injured while in a moving vehicle in Albany Park. The 14-year old is listed in critical condition at the hospital.
    • In a separate Chicago incident, a 15-year old was shot in the calf.
    • In Cincinnati, Ohio, a 14-year old was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening gunshot wounds.  No other information is available.
    • Two teenagers were shot at a Nagadoches, Texas apartment complex.
    • In Pasadena, Maryland a 16-year old boy was struck in the upper chest, but is expected to survive.
    • And in Federal Way, Washington, a 15-year old girl was shot and taken to the hospital by relatives.

    The final three incidents involving teenagers occurred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:

    • A 15-year old boy was shot and injured.
    • Another 15 year-old was shot and is hospitalized in grave condition.
    • The third incident involved a 14-year old girl about whom no details were reported.

    There are no suspects in any of the incidents. As always, great gratitude to the Gun Violence Archive for cataloging the relevant local news stories.
