The dataset contains 840 missing values on both latitude and longitude attributes. I have removed all instances which has missing values on latitude and longitude attributes. I have used python’s Folium Library for visualizing the geospatial data.
This method not only enhances our understanding of the data but also offers a more intuitive perspective compared to traditional tabular data. It allows us to uncover spatial trends and connections that might be less apparent when examining raw numbers or traditional charts.

A predominant number of shootings have occurred in the eastern region of the United States, with particular focus in the central and south-eastern areas. Additionally, significant shootings have been documented in California.
