Area sees a string of deadly episodes of domestic violence
The shooting death of attorney Nancy Sullivan last week was the latest in a string of domestic violence cases in the Twin Cities since the beginning of the year.
According to a report in the Star Tribune: "In the majority of domestic homicides in the metro area this year, the victims didn't have orders for protection filed against their partners and many of the suspected perpetrators didn't have a history of domestic abuse convictions.... Numbers of requests filed for orders for protections statewide so far this year are on track to match last year's numbers."
We speak about recent events with a retired police officer who specialized in domestic abuse cases.
