The first step of our analysis was to provide an in-depth understanding of deadly police shootings on a national scale. Table 1 displays the characteristics of the 990 police fatal shootings that occurred in the United States in 2015.17 Most civilians shot and killed were male (95.8%), White (50.0%), and between the ages of 25 and 34 (31.4%; mean = 36.7). Slightly less than half of these deadly shootings occurred in the South (42.8%). The overwhelming majority of civilians shot and killed were armed with a deadly weapon (82.4%),18 but it should be noted that 93 civilians (or 9.4%) were unarmed. Nearly three fourths of these civilians were attacking the officer(s) or other civilians at the time of the deadly shooting—either firing a gun (27.7%), attacking officers without a gun (e.g., physically assaulting them, 15.7%), or pointing/brandishing a gun (30.4%). Less severe threats to officer/public safety included brandishing or refusing to drop nongun weapons (16.5%) and furtive movements (3.5%).
