That’s funny I was just about to post the exact same statistics. You would expect any statistics in the United States to be broken down equal to the population statistics or very close. Where there are anomalies from those statistics is probably the best place to look for answers. So maybe the question that needs to be asked is why are Latinos less likely to participate in mass shootings. I’m not being facetious. Is it stronger family ties, do they have a better appreciation for what they have,? Maybe somewhere buried in those questions are the answers that we’re all looking for
