It was reported that one of the killers grew up in a home affected by domestic violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-list-component bn-content-list-text text\" data-beacon=\"{&quot;p&quot;:{&quot;mnid&quot;:&quot;citation&quot;}}\" data-beacon-parsed=\"true\">\n<p>Domestic violence continues to be a thread weaving the many incidents of mass violence together. Other examples include: Esteban Santiago\u2014who had previously been accused of attempting to strangle his girlfriend\u2014allegedly shot travelers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, killing five people as a result. And earlier last year it was shown that the Pulse Orlando shooter had a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/orlando-shooter-domestic-abuse_us_5760536ae4b0e4fe5143f349\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">history<\/a> of domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p>Data shows that this connection is far from coincidental.<\/p>\n<p>At Safe Horizon, we believe that we can reduce violence in our society by providing speedy, expert mental health care to child witnesses who may also be victims. Every year we help more than 6,000 children and their families recover from the most severe physical and sexual abuse in New York City, but we know thousands more cases are never reported.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the fear, confusion, anger and profound loss that these children are facing and how that trauma, if left untreated, could lead to tragic outcomes for these future teens and adults, and also for our society at large.<\/p>\n<p>And there are other things that need to change in our society before killings like those in San Bernardino end.<\/p>\n<p>We absolutely need decisive action on gun violence, for a start. Research shows us the immediate danger guns can have in the wrong hands. For example, women who are abused are five times more likely to be killed by their abuser if the abuser owns a gun. In fact, between 1990 and 2005, firearms were used to kill in more than two-thirds of homicides committed by a spouse or ex-spouse.<\/p>\n<p>But we also know that we can help reduce the daily bloodshed in our society by intervening sooner and supporting victims of domestic violence more fully. Only then will we build a society free of family and community violence.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/domestic-violence-an-undeniable-link-to-mass-shootings_us_58ecf5b9e4b081da6ad007e6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the original article here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the correlation between domestic violence and mass shootings?
