Jessi was a beautiful girl with blonde hair, and a sweet smile. As with similar cases, details about Jessi and Summer in news reports are scarce…lost in the focus on the horror of their deaths.
According to the Violence Policy Center, murder-suicide deaths account for 1,200 deaths annually with 9 out of every 10 of those being carried out with a gun.
Children are the innocent and most vulnerable victims of domestic gun violence. A 2023 USA Today reported that on average a child dies every 6 days in the US amid custody battles. #honorwithaction
