Penn researchers investigated the link between being shot in an assault and a person’s possession of a gun at the time of the shooting. As identified by police and medical examiners, they randomly selected 677 cases of Philadelphia residents who were shot in an assault from 2003 to 2006. Six percent of these gang bangers admitted being in possession of a gun (such as in a holster, pocket, waistband, or vehicle) when they were shot.
There must be a way they got from 6% to their conclusions. I wonder if they screened out criminals who were shot while in possession of a gun.

fixed it, makes way more sense.
