Murder-suicides, on average, happen more than once a day somewhere in the United States, studies show.⁠
⁠
Who is most often involved?⁠
⁠
News4 consulted two studies to look at the data on this kind of domestic violence — one from Columbia University and another from the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C.⁠
⁠
News4's Ted Oberg breaks down what those studies show, and shares what we learned from a domestic violence expert: The most high-risk time for violence in an abusive relationship is when someone tries to leave.⁠
