Colorado has been trying to track numbers, treating firearm injuries and deaths as a public health emergency.

The push comes from a partnership between the Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Injury and Violence Prevention Center in the Colorado School of Public Health.
