Only a 1/4 of them die because the majority of the shooters use pea shooters(9mm) and are poor markspersons(How's that for PC?).
They must have excellent EMS as well.
By the time the vics get to the hospital the die has been cast the majority of the time.
The above was my experience as an EMT riding the fire engine and the rescue truck in the slums of Atlanta.
Had a guy shot 23 times with a 9mm one call. His worst injury was a fractured femur. He lived to tell the tale.
