Correction on Gun Violence Statistics in Franklin County
June 24, 2016
On June 24, 2016, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement on statistics she used during the Democratic gun violence sit-in on the U.S. House Floor.
“Recently, my office and I reported data from the Franklin County Coroner’s Office on gun violence victims in Franklin County. We apologize for using raw data that included names which should have been removed. I will continue working with leaders in the community and in Congress to create legislative changes to curb the epidemic that has taken the lives of so many innocent citizens, friends, relatives and loved ones.”
