Interesting data set. Here's the breakdown of the average shooter's age:

Age 20 - 99 (4.4%)Age 21 - 98 (4.4%)Age 18 - 90 (4%)Age 19 - 90 (4%)Age 23 - 89 (4%)Age 17 - 85 (3.8%)Age 25 - 84 (3.8%)Age 24 - 80 (3.6%)Age 28 - 80 (3.6%)Age 29 - 79 (3.5%)

the ages creep higher for fatal shootings: 1. 18 21 (4.5%)
2. 19 21 (4.5%)
3. 20 21 (4.5%)
4. 21 21 (4.5%)
5. 26 21 (4.5%)
6. 25 20 (4.3%)
7. 34 19 (4.1%)
8. 30 17 (3.7%)
9. 32 17 (3.7%)
10. 33 17 (3.7%)

Interesting, does this mean people shoot less often as they get older, but they are more likely to successfully kill someone?
