A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?

Ex-police Officer shoots at car carrying wife and friend, then kills himself
Ex-Officer Shoots Man, Kills Self: A retired New York City police officer shot an off-duty officer he apparently suspected was having an affair with his police officer wife, then killed himself in the driveway of his Long Island home, police said Saturday. Cecil Ramsay, 51, shot himself in the head after firing at a car carrying his wife and a friend, both off-duty NYPD officers, Suffolk County police said. He shot Officer Edwin Chittick in the hand after accusing him "of seeing his wife," said Suffolk County Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick. "It's our understanding that that is not the case. They're just acquaintances," Fitzpatrick said.
