As part of our ongoing investigation into gun violence, which costs the nation at least $229 billion a year, we documented the stories of eight survivors. How does the toll add up for a victim of street violence? What does it cost to lose a loved one to suicide, or in a mass shooting? From Brooklyn and Chicago to Cheyenne and Oakland, these are some of the prices paid. (See the rest of our special investigation here.)

they might settle for less. We'd save money and thousands of lives.

I felt such sadness and compassion for these people. They are all so strong. I don't know how they do it, as I am not sure I could be so strong if I was in their shoes. I wish them all the best.
