October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. From June 2022 to June 2023, 20 people in central Indiana died due to deadly domestic violence incidents.
"Funny, I remember it like it was yesterday," said Williams."I was actually getting up to go to work," said Williams.
"He attempted to throw me over the porch. My body went over but my knee stopped me from actually going over the porch. At this point, he was prying the gun out of my hand. He turns and points the gun in my daughter’s face," said Williams. "I’m scared. I just was attacked; my daughter was attacked, and I almost just shot a man. As a mother, who wants their child to go through something like that? It’s horrifying," said Williams.
"Having a gun present in a domestic violence relationship increases lethality by 500%," said Kelly McBride, the executive director of the Domestic Violence Network."We need to raise awareness and make sure people understand that domestic violence is not a behind closed doors thing. It happens and this bleeds into our community. It absolutely comes into our streets, and we need to talk about it," said McBride.
