The volume of gun violence in Colorado during the first months of 2021 has risen to a level not seen in years. According to the Gun Memorial website, which offers a space to remember victims in Colorado and across the country under the philosophy Real people, not just statistics, 33 Coloradans were killed by a firearm during January and February, the most by far for that period since the site s birth in 2015.
And there s no indication the bloodshed will stop anytime soon. Late on March 3, the Aurora Police Department reveals that a thus-far-unidentified man was fatally shot in the parking lot of a condominium complex on the 12000 block of East Harvard Avenue in the southwest part of the city.
