俄亥俄州家暴致死一年 134 人:近半数死者当时正试图离开施暴者

俄亥俄州反家庭暴力网络(Ohio Domestic Violence Network)发布的年度报告显示,过去一年该州共有 134 人死于家庭暴力事件,涉及 101 起案件,比前一年的 157 人下降 15%,但仍是该网络 11 年追踪以来的第二高。
报告细节令人揪心:约四分之三的死者死于枪击;49% 的死者在遇害时正试图离开施暴者;死者年龄从 7 个月到 88 岁不等;53 名儿童目睹了杀戮,5 名儿童被父母或继父母杀害,3 名青少年被约会对象杀害;24 起案件以施暴者自杀告终。
该网络发言人 Maria York 表示,数据表明家暴致死往往发生在受害者试图脱离关系之时。报告点名了 Tiffin 的 Ryan Eagon 案等个案。报告基于全州各庇护机构与执法记录汇总。(GSM 据《哥伦布电讯报》报道)

134 Killed in Domestic Violence Incidents in Ohio in a Year: Nearly Half Were Trying to Leave
The Ohio Domestic Violence Network's annual report shows 134 people were killed in domestic violence incidents in the state over the past year, across 101 cases — down 15 percent from 157 the year before, but still the second-highest total in the network's 11 years of tracking.
The details are stark: about three-quarters of the victims were shot; 49 percent were killed while trying to leave their abuser; victims ranged in age from 7 months to 88 years; 53 children witnessed a killing, 5 children were killed by a parent or stepparent, and 3 teenagers were killed by dating partners; 24 cases ended in murder-suicide.
Network spokesperson Maria York said the data show domestic violence homicides often occur as victims try to leave a relationship. The report cites individual cases including that of Ryan Eagon of Tiffin, and is compiled from shelter programs and law enforcement records statewide.
