Gunfire often causes a panic, and panicky people produce their own injuries and deaths, notably by trampling or accidentally pushing someone off a ledge or into traffic.

Killed is for homicides. Death includes secondary and tertiary effects.

Edit to add example: whenever someone says “gun deaths” the number they’re about to give you includes suicides, accidents, etc., which outnumber murders more than 2:1
