DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MASS SHOOTING Brookfield WI | Waukesha County - WISN Home



Click link:  Brookfield shooter found dead inside spa | Waukesha County - WISN Home

What a difference a day can make!!  In the midst of my daily activity, over the past few days, I was sporatically working on a blog regarding the rash of domestic violence related homicides that happened this month to date in Florida!

The mass shooter (above left photo) Radcliff Houghton, age 45,
shot 7 women killing 3!
 
The shooter took 4 lives including his own and altered the lives of three (3) others injured and the lives of so many others! All directly related to domestic violence.
 
Law enforcement at this time are not saying if one of the deaths is in-fact, the shooter's wife who was employed at the Salon.
 
The ripples of consequence will go on for quite some time. Domestic violence is all of our business!!
 
More to come!
