Single GSWs aren't THAT deadly. Quick Google shows about 20%. So after 2000 days everyone is dead, assuming we're not replacing them ever.

Birthrate in the US is about 1.1% per year. You'd need a lot of immigrants to replace the workforce.

Maybe there's a group of people who get shot more than once, and they get included multiple times. That would skew the statistic.
