Why on earth would it be surprising that California, with 12% of the population of the United States, would account for 10% of the total shootings? Florida, based on it&#x27;s population, would have about 61 shootings (it has 60), and Texas would be expected to have about 84 (it has 96, or about 20% more than expected).<p>The only surprising ones you&#x27;ve mentioned are Illinois (which is about half the expected rate) and New Mexico, which is about 3 times the expected.
