Gun violence in America: Defining the problem

From 2014 and 2019, an average of 38,826 Americans were killed by guns annually.

It was lunchtime when a gun altered Crystal Turner's life. "I got the call at 12, noon," Turner recalled to ABC News. "My 29-year-old daughter Jenea and my 23-year-old son Donell were murdered together." Jenea Harvison and her brother, Donell McDonald, were gunned down in Columbus, Ohio, by Harvison's estranged husband, Roy Harvison, who is now serving a life sentence for aggravated murder. "We know there are millions of other families now who have similar stories and similar experiences," Turner said.
