Gun Violence Corpus

The Gun Violence Corpus (GVC) consists of 241 unique incidents for which we have structured data on a) location, b) time c) the name, gender and age of the victims and d) the status of the victims after the incident: killed or injured. For these data, 510 news articles were gathered following the 'data to text' approach. The structured data and articles report on a variety of gun violence incidents, such as drive-by shootings, murder-suicides, hunting accidents, involuntary gun discharges, etcetera. The documents have been manually annotated for all mentions that make reference to the gun violence incident at hand.
