It hasn't gone back down."The American Journal of Emergency Medicine also found"alarming trends" emerged during the pandemic, including increased calls for help and arrests.

A spokesperson for the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, which tracks domestic violence homicides in the state, said Ohio is on track to meet or exceed the previous year's total. The total does not include the recent murder-suicide at a Giant Eagle supermarket in North Olmsted in June.North Olmsted Police said Bernard Smith, 60, shot and killed his ex-wife, Susan Petterson, 63, inside the store, where she was working as a cashier.Leslie Terry said she could have one of those victims.
