The effort began <br>  <br> because data compiled by the federal government was unreliable and <br>  <br> incomplete. The project was awarded the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for <br>  <br> National Reporting. <br><br> This database is based on news reports, public records, social media <br>  <br> and other sources.
