That's from the link you provided.

It had me scratching my head too. But, even 37 in one day is astounding.

automatically and didn't show any other numbers.

Perhaps it has to do with how fast everyone's connection is, or something?

Well, "correct", at least.

13,000 homicides a year, give or take, translates into about 36 homicides a day. About 24 will be done with guns (21 with handguns), and about 12 with "other".
