CHEYENNE - Wyoming's suicide rate now is the highest in the United States.
Statistics from the American Association of Suicidology show that in 2002, 105 people in Wyoming took their own lives. The state has a rate of 21 deaths by suicide per 100,000 people.
The 2002 data is the most recent available.
"We need to do something about that," Dave Smith of Laramie said. "We don't want to be Number 1."
