Ghost Guns Are Linked to an Increase in Suicide Rates
People who attempt suicide, nine out of 10 times, will survive — if they don’t use a gun. But suicide attempts with a firearm are almost always fatal: nine in 10 attempts end in death. For years, researchers have been sounding the alarm on the deadly connection between firearms and suicide risk, emphasizing that the danger of suicide is also a matter of access. Now that research is going a step further, linking increases in firearm suicide to ghost guns, a type of unserialized firearm assembled from kits typically bought online. Using data from The Trace’s Gun Violence Data Hub, researchers at New York University analyzed California’s gun recoveries in conjunction with data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study found that for every 20 ghost guns recovered per 100,000 people, the firearm suicide rate increased by about 6 percent across the state. The authors said the findings, published last month, are the first empirical evidence linking ghost gun recovery rates to firearm suicide rates, laying an initial groundwork for understanding the health risks associated with homemade guns.
Tijuana police capture 3 U.S. fugitives following information exchange
Mexican authorities captured two suspected murderers and a thief in separate operations in Tijuana within 24 hours, officials said Thursday. According to the authorities, the individuals were detained after they crossed the border to evade justice in the United States. The Interinstitutional Liaison and International Relations Coordination of the State Citizen Security Force (FESC) said the arrests were made possible through information sharing between U.S. and Mexican authorities. In a first operation, state agents located 41-year-old Álvaro “N” of Ventura, California, in the Zona Centro neighborhood, on the corner of Salvador Díaz Mirón and Fourth streets. According to an FBI wanted poster, Álvaro “N” is linked to a February 15, 2025, shooting in Oxnard, California, in which a man was killed by multiple gunshot wounds to the head. A second operation in the Zona Urbana Ejido Matamoros neighborhood led to the arrest of a 17-year-old California resident wanted for homicide. The third arrest was 29-year-old Daniel “N” from Los Angeles, who was wanted for robbery. Authorities reported that all three suspects were found in possession of packets of marijuana.
