Excerpts: An incident in which an abuser kills their partner and then dies by su***de happens on average more than once a day, according to Everytown for Gun Safety. Of those tragedies, 85% involved a firearm and 95% were women killed by male partners.

Guns are a uniquely lethal tool in domestic violence situations. When an abuser has access to a gun, the risk that he will shoot and kill his intimate partner increases by 1,000%. Abusers with access to a gun are five times more likely to kill a female victim, with an average of 70 women shot and killed by an intimate partner every month in the U.S. Black women experience intimate partner homicide-su***de with a gun at nearly a 20% higher rate than white women.

The Alarmingly Common Reality Of Men Killing Their Partners And Children Shootings like the ones carried out by Justin Fairfax and Shamar Elkins happen at least once a day in the U.S.
