Any death by gun (any death actually) is a tragedy for all involved. Does not matter the race, ethnicity or anything else. Placing labels to discuss is fruitless.
Understanding the “why” requires much much more than the color of ones skin, unless you actually believe those with a dark skin are actually born to kill people or violate the law.
As others have stated, and is my opinion, so much killing is a result of economics. Yes, there are some bad people by nature, economic frustration and desperation drive people to extremes. Add an ingredient of being looked at, as a human being, as being different or inferior (no matter the color of skin) and that drives many the wrong way.
