Gunned Down in Sydney

If you haven't been able to figure it out, I've been rather morbid this holiday season. My intent was to point out domestic violence deaths but I didn't expect it to occur every other day. I actually quit reporting for at least a week because I was getting flooded.

Anyway, we have another woman in Sydney, Australia shot by her husband from whom she had separated. Same shit, different day.

Police have confirmed that Cook had taken out an apprehended violence order against her estranged husband, from whom she was separated and in the process of divorcing.

A spokesman last night said "domestic violence issues" had come to the attention of police in the past.

Damn guns.

Oh yeah, and he killed himself, too.

But men aren't disproportionately violent...

Peace to you, Melissa Cook.
