Barbara Mikulski: “To the Senator from Connecticut, most of the victims of guns in domestic violence are law enforcement officials…”

On the recordJune 15, 2016
To the Senator from Connecticut, most of the victims of guns in domestic violence are law enforcement officials responding to aid a domestic violence victim. In my own State there have been wonderful men in blue who came to a home to rescue someone who was being held or something by their spouse--often off their meds. When the police officer responded because it was domestic violence--not responding as if it were an active scene--he was also killed. Has that been the Senator's observation?
