Firearms accounted for about 8 percent of suicide attempts but slightly more than 50 percent of the 47,511 suicide deaths in 2019, according to the American Association of Suicidology.

Yet the American Association of Suicidology specifically suggests that any reporting on suicide or suicide attempts not include the method or location.

“Here’s a spot on the bridge where it literally took like six uniformed police officers to drag this person back over the side,” said Jonathan Singer, president of the American Association of Suicidology.

“Historically, we see a decrease in suicide deaths in the early part of a disaster or a catastrophe and then an increase,” said Jonathan Singer, president of the American Association of Suicidology.

For people living in the same household, Jonathan Singer, president of the American Association of Suicidology, suggested spending more time around whomever you may be concerned about.
