Increasing domestic violence awareness

Last week was a tough one when it comes to domestic violence.

There were more than four cases involving shootings in the MidSouth, two of which were deadly.

It’s bringing more attention to a growing problem, especially here in Memphis.

The NFL and a local NFL player from Memphis are under scrutiny on the subject as well.

Greg Hardy signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Dallas Cowboys.

The former Briarcrest standout was involved in a domestic violence incident with his girlfriend last year.

Hardy was convicted, charges however were dismissed when the victim did not show up to court.

Olliette Murry-Drobot and Gwen Turner with the Family Safety Center stopped by to discuss the issue.
