My spouse told me that he saw a lot of GSWs to the legs/pelvis/hips when he was a med student on his EM and radiology rotations.
Apparently, the kids in that area had guns, but were trying to shoot them by holding the gun sideways, like they do in the movies:

It is, as you can imagine, not easy to hit your target when you're holding a gun that way. The effort to shoot the gun would usually propel the nozzle downwards, resulting in a lot of shots to the knees/shins/ankles.
