Data collected by the Washington Post newspaper suggests that the number of people shot by police is twice as high as official figures claim in US, . The paper said that during the first five months of this year, 385 people, more than two a day, were killed.
The number of black people was disproportionately high among the victims, especially unarmed ones. Official statistics rely on self-reported figures from law enforcement agencies. They suggest about 400 people have been killed each year since 2008.
