Why on earth would it be surprising that California, with 12% of the population of the United States, would account for 10% of the total shootings? Florida, based on it's population, would have about 61 shootings (it has 60), and Texas would be expected to have about 84 (it has 96, or about 20% more than expected). The only surprising ones you've mentioned are Illinois (which is about half the expected rate) and New Mexico, which is about 3 times the expected.
