FBI: Indiana Reported More than 140 Domestic Violence-Related Fatal Shootings From 2006-2014

[SecularMotion]

(INDIANAPOLIS) - FBI records show that Indiana reported more than 140 domestic violence-related fatal shootings from 2006 through 2014, although the number is likely higher because some of the state's law enforcement agencies didn't report such data.

The Associated Press analyzed FBI records for that period and found Indiana had 143 fatal shootings of spouses, ex-spouses or dating partners.

Nearly 80 percent of those victims were women.

Indiana is considered a gun-friendly state. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gives the state a D- and ranks its gun laws 23rd in the nation in terms of toughness.
