1. That doesn't show any long term trend.

2. It isn't normalized against overall violence trends.

3. Although obviously terrible, it's still an incredibly small number of people in absolute terms. 259 people died while taking selfies since 2011 [0].

And even less people are killed by terror threats worldwide. Also a small number of people die from shark attacks or from airplane crashes. It doesn't stop people from taking safety precautions.
