"An overwhelming number of familicide cases are perpetrated by non-Hispanic white men — 91 percent, the NIJ said — and 88 percent used a gun, per the NIJ." www.tennessean.com/story/news/c...

It's so strange that you posted this. My husband and I were driving through northern Maine where there were two "family annihilators" when we were young. We were remembering how horrific it was. I volunteered for a domestic violence agency at the time and will never forget the things I learned.
