Shot Spot App Displays Gun Violence In Your Neighborhood

Random iPhone App of the week:TheGeneralistGroup created the Shot Spot app to track every act of gun violence in America. The free app lets users enter their addresses and view every place in the United States someone has been shot. The app updates every 24 hours and provides links to news stories on the shootings.

The app organizes shootings into four categories: Fatal, Nonfatal, Mass and Police shootings. It will soon send push notifications to users when entering an area with a high volume of incidents.

According to the app, at least 60 people die from gun violence daily: 31 are murdered. The rest are the results of accidental shootings or police intervention, per gunviolencearchive.com.
