IRMO (WACH) -- Richland County deputies say a mother is dead and her two-year-old child is hospitalized following what they are calling a domestic dispute.
According to Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, the male suspect shot the woman and her child before turning the gun on himself. They say the male suspect is dead.
Deputies say they found the mother on the side of Freshly Mill Road in Irmo. They found the child inside a trailer about a half-mile away. They say at one point, the suspect took hostages and fired two shots at deputies. None of the deputies were injured.
Both the mother and child were transported to the hospital, but the mother later died. At this point, there is no further word on the condition of the child.

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?
