Once again, the Ohio Domestic Violence Network has compiled Ohio's domestic violence fatality data for the past year. Public awareness of the scope and tragedy of domestic violence related deaths is critical for our efforts to create change. Lives lost to domestic violence in Ohio this past year include women, children, men, pets, and bystanders. Seventy-three percent of fatal incidents involved guns.
