Tuesday, February 11, 2025

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:

"PPD" is paranoid personality disorder, which is a very high level of suspicion and distrust.

Which is possible, I guess, but this sounds more like schizophrenia in which one is hearing voices... not in the head, but auditorily with the ears, that might be responsible.

Unless someone meant Postpartum depression, which is a mood disorder that would rarely be associated with this kind of result.

"... the 16th-highest rate of gun violence in the US."

Not bad for the least populated state in the union. A few more and DJT will give them a medal.

Hi Corky: Here's the source for the stats: link text

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.

Its actually excellent, given they have the most guns per capita.

In Wyoming, 86% of gun deaths are suicides and 10% are homicides. This is compared to 56% and 40% nationwide, respectively.

Interesting Corky left this out of her equation. Are suicides considered "gun violence"? Seems like Wyoming is a pretty peaceful state.
Where I live its, 49%, 40%, also in California women living with handgun owners are more likely to die by suicide.

You wonder how much the offending firearm cost.

Why don't you worry about the median income? Seems more relevant.

The radical hatefilled perversion aka "the left" has made everyone angry and crazy. They are crazy perverts as Congress or as angry sheep.

You are angry and crazy because those you vote for and support without questioning need you that way. They lie to you. You are being used by demagogues. You still haven't figured it out. That's why I want you and those like you to pay dearly for it, to suffer. I don't see any other way for you to finally figure it out.
