[]  Males are significantly more likely than females to die violently. In 2005, males ages 15 to 19 were four times more likely to commit suicide, six and a half times more likely to be victims of homicide, and nine times more likely to be involved in a firearm-related death than were females of the same age. Homicide and suicide are the second and third leading causes of death among teens ages 15 to 19, after unintentional injury. Firearms were the instrument of death in over 80 percent of teen homicides and about half of teen suicides in 2005. While almost one in four youth firearm injuries results in death, non-firearm injuries result in death in only one out of every 760 cases.
