The rate of US gun deaths surged 35% in 2020 to the highest point since 1994, with especially deadly levels for young Black men, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report published on Tuesday.

African Americans as a whole were at least four times more likely to be killed by a gun than the overall population, and 12 times more likely than a white person, the data showed.

The CDC report goes further in placing the rate of homicides caused by firearms to the highest level in 26 years, while also noting disparities based on race, ethnicity and poverty. By raw numbers, there were 19 350 gun homicides in 2020, with African Americans accounting for 62% of the total and white people 21%.The rate of 8.1 gun suicides per 100 000 people was little changed from 7.9 in 2019.
