Nope, just stab wounds. Good thing she didn't have a gun, eh?

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -
A Missouri teenager is accused of stabbing a man with an ice pick in a
dispute over a parking spot.

Eighteen-year-old Caitlen Watkins of Springfield was charged Monday in
Greene County with first-degree assault and armed criminal action.

According to court documents, Watkins and a passenger in her car
confronted another driver Sunday in the parking lot of a shopping
center after he took a parking place Watkins wanted.

Witnesses told police a fight broke out and the other driver was
stabbed half a dozen times with a wooden-handled, 5-inch ice pick.
Police say the other driver suffered a punctured kidney.

A judge set Watkins' bond at $75,000. She did not have a lawyer. She
has not yet had a hearing or entered a plea.

It is good for her that he didn't have a gun

Yup.

Actually the death rate from knife wounds and handgun wounds is about the
same. 20-22%. This excludes minor cuts where the knife does not really
enter the body.

20 - 22% of how many incidents?

If a gun weren't available, how many of those assaults would be
perforned by a knife or ice pick?

It's easy to cherry pick numbers, and offer an illusory conclusion
without offering access to the full data and knowing who's doing the
data gathering and statistical analysis (to know what their agenda may
be).
