Looked up Sweden because I haven't really even given it a thought here. Hard to do real statistics when some years it is 0 and other 6... Averages to 15 warning shots and 15 shots aimed at the person per year. Scaling to the US size (x33) would be ~500 warning shots and ~500 shots aimed at the person. Less than total killed people.

They also collect statistics of why every single shot happened, which distance, what the person they shot at was armed with and the legal basis of the shot https://polisen.se/siteassets/dokument/ovriga_rapporter/poli... (PDF, Swedish)
