Major police departments in the U.S. devote far fewer resources to solving nonfatal shootings than they do fatal ones. Police generally clear about half of homicides by arresting a suspect (or in extraordinary circumstances, by determining they cannot). But when the victim survives, departments in some cities make an arrest in fewer than 1 in 10 shootings, according to data gathered by The Marshall Project.
