Developing interventions to prevent firearm-related violence and to address its consequences requires an improved understanding of when these violent events are most likely to occur. We explored gunshot events by time of day, day of week, and holiday/non-holiday in six major US cities. We utilized publicly available police department datasets that report the date and time of day of gunshot events from six major US cities. In these cities, shootings occurred most often at night and on holidays and weekends, with significant interaction effects. Primary prevention efforts should consider this differential risk.
