The Most Dangerous States for Gun Violence From Road Rage
Data reflects firearm-involved road rage incidents only, tracking victims killed and injured where a gun was discharged or brandished during a road rage confrontation. Per capita rates are calculated per 100,000 residents using 2024 U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. GVA compiles incident data from police reports, government sources, and verified news media and is the most comprehensive publicly available dataset for firearm-involved road rage tracking in the United States. Data reflects incidents recorded January 1 through December 31, 2024. Not all road rage incidents involving firearms are reported to police or covered by media, meaning total victim counts are likely an undercount of actual occurrences.
