A woman shot her four young daughters and then herself inside a home in northern Wyoming. The mother Tranyelle Harshman (32) and one daughter (7) survived, but their condition was unknown. The husband is devastated and a GoFundMe page was established to help pay for the exorbitant funeral costs.
In an average year, 139 people die and 141 are wounded by guns in Wyoming, which has the 16th-highest rate of gun violence in the US. The "Cowboy State" reported 142,247 firearms licenses in 2021 and an estimated 66.2% of adults live in homes with guns. In Wyoming, 86% of gun deaths are suicides and 10% are homicides. This is compared to 56% and 40% nationwide, respectively.
Initial reports suggest the mother suffered from PPD. Suicide rates in Wyoming are double the national rate. In the US it's easier to access a firearm than a psychologist. Per the CDC, in 2022 there were more than 48,000 firearm-related deaths in the US. These are wartime casualty figures without a foreign invader. See data:

And the average cost of a funeral in Wyoming ranges between $5,000 to $7,000. You wonder how much the offending firearm cost. I know three healthy couples who couldn't conceive children, so two of them adopted. This tragedy must have broken all of their hearts.
