Which comes out to about 1/7 of a person in that room being shot per year.

But its not as shocking if I say that there are a million people in the room and one gets shot per day! (But I mean, that still seems significant to me.)

In their example, almost everybody is getting shot every year. Happy birthday, BLAM!

Yea, if 1/400 people were shot a day, nearly everyone would have been shot by the time they were 2.
