Aggravated assault is classified by the FBI as a violent attack where the offender uses a dangerous weapon, causes severe bodily harm, or shows intent to seriously injure the victim. Approximately one-third of aggravated assault cases reported to the FBI involve firearms.

Warning

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, about half of violent crimes are reported to law enforcement, with reporting rates ranging from the low 40s to 49 percent in recent years. This report may focus more on severe cases due to underreporting.

It’s important to note that approximately 10 percent of crimes involve firearms, but this percentage varies depending on the type of crime committed.
