What you are about to read was compiled not by the federal government but by independent journalists. The Trace, a nonprofit investigative newsroom focused on gun violence, built a running tracker of every incident it could document. Capital & Main, ProPublica, NBC News, local outlets, and legal filings filled in additional details. Several agents involved have not been identified. Several incidents have not been publicly acknowledged at all.
