In an epidemic unique to the United States, on average, at least one child is shot every hour of every day.

In 2020, the number exceeded 2,200 — by far the highest total in the past two decades — and 2021′s tally is expected to be worse. wapo.st/34E6cIV
Black kids are more than four times as likely to die in shootings as White ones, according to CDC data, though White kids are much more likely to use guns to take their own lives. wapo.st/34E6cIV
Last year, in Los Angeles, 11 were fatally shot. In Philadelphia: 36. In Chicago: 59.

Those figures don’t include the hundreds of other kids who died in accidental shootings and by suicide. wapo.st/34E6cIV

LeBron James called it a “spectacular play” made possible by “rockets in his calf muscle,” and the Grizzlies’ Jaren Jackson Jr. called it “probably the best block I’ve seen.” wapo.st/3qna8WT
James noted that Morant began the play by “stalking down [his] prey,” just as James blocked Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala during the closing minutes of Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals. wapo.st/3qna8WT
