Gun Numbers

NPR's Larry Abramson reports on a study that shows fewer people are falling victim to gunshot wounds during the commission of crimes. The Justice Department says the number of gunshot wounds fell almost 40 percent from 1993 and 1997. Experts credit a number of factors, including the aging of the population and longer prison sentences for violent criminals.
