How many of these are suicides?

"According to the group, firearm suicide among ages 10 to 24 is at its highest rate in more than 20 years."
"Everytown's research also found that 90% of suicide attempts with a gun are fatal. In attempts without a gun, just 4% result in death. This data was further supported in a 2021 study, which states that "access to lethal means matters."
