Being exposed to gun violence increases the odds of later dying from stress-related cardiovascular disease like heart attacks, a recent study from the University of Michigan found.

Last year Michigan saw over 1,300 gun deaths. The state has the 22nd highest rate of gun-related homicides nationally, according to the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at Johns Hopkins University.
