In the aftermath of last week's terrorist attacks in France, the United States of America on Sunday reached a deadly milestone in a different crisis. With a little over a month to go in 2015, a thousand people have already died in police-related incidents so far this year, according to a tally run by Britain's The Guardian newspaper.
U.S. citizens killed by police this year are being tallied and represented in an interactive web exhibit created by the news outlet, called "The Counted."
By Monday, that number had reached 1,000 -- with 46 days left in the year. Shootings in California, North Carolina and Pennsylvania on Sunday pushed the toll over the 1,000-mark, the database indicated.
There is no official tally of people killed or wounded by law enforcement officers in the United States, but by all accounts the 1,000-victim mark is a significant milestone.
