COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus police said while they don't know the motive in all cases, but about 10% of homicide cases this year are domestic violence-related.
Tuesday night, police said William Roberts shot and killed his 1-year-old daughter in north Columbus along with the child's mother.
Bryant said a domestic situation inside of the home led to the shooting. The woman who was shot is expected to survive, according to Bryant.
