Stats on domestic violence:
- The presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of homicide by 500%
- 72% of all murder-suicides involve an intimate partner; 94% of the victims of these murder suicides are female
- Between 2003 and 2008, 142 women were murdered in their workplace by their abuser
Its beyond sad that as soon as they said “murder-suicide” I knew the genders of the perpetrator and the victim.
