If you had read the text at the bottom of the two tables in that link you will
see the following: __Source: FBI, Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-98.
See the methodology section in Additional Information About the Data for
weighting and imputation procedures used.__ Go to that source and review the
numbers you find there. The numbers contained in the above link are
estimates - for 1998 they have no idea who or how many people were involved in
5240 murders out of 16910.
