The number of domestic violence occurrences is on the rise
in the Stateline and some are fearful that it may lead to tragedy like Sundays shooting
in Milwaukee . Police
say they are doing all they can to help bring the number of occurrences down,
but are slightly handcuffed with primarily only being able to respond after the
fact. Activists for domestic abuse say the key is for entire communities to get
involved with prevention efforts.
