August 6, 201313 yr Author The woman had filed for a protective order. The request was denied. Somebody has some explaining to do then.
August 6, 201313 yr The woman had filed for a protective order. The request was denied. Yikes... I'd say she has some grounds for some kind of lawsuit then. Sad situation. Hope she recovers.
August 6, 201313 yr The woman had filed for a protective order. The request was denied. Probably would have made no difference but someone is on the hot seat.
August 6, 201313 yr It was a domestic situation. The husband chased the wife into the building and shot her multiple times. He then killed himself. She is being treated at UC Medical Center. Apparently, they were in the midst of a divorce. The woman's name is Alecia Waters from Florence. She works on the building as a receptionist. She was shot four times and is now in surgery. Very sad story. Hope she is OK. They were located across the street from St. Elizabeth hospital yet they took her to UC?
August 6, 201313 yr Author Very sad story. Hope she is OK. They were located across the street from St. Elizabeth hospital yet they took her to UC? I think UC is much better equipped to handle a trauma situation with 4 gunshots.
August 6, 201313 yr Very sad story. Hope she is OK. They were located across the street from St. Elizabeth hospital yet they took her to UC? Not to knock the hospital, but quite honestly when it comes to major trauma, that specific ER is one of the bottom ones in the Greater Cincinnati area. Most any time there is anything major going on - like multiple gunshot wounds - they're getting rushed or air-cared to University Hospital regardless of their location in the tri-state.
August 6, 201313 yr I think UC is much better equipped to handle a trauma situation with 4 gunshots. This is correct.
August 6, 201313 yr Probably would have made no difference but someone is on the hot seat. If someone is bent on shooting people, a law that opposes it is of no consequence. An EPO (is that acronym still accurate?) would have made no difference. That said, if I were the victim I would have questions about why the EPO was denied. Not knowing the details or history between the two I am not going to criticize the denial based on the limited facts we have here. My prayers are with this woman, hopefully she will recover fully and quickly.
August 6, 201313 yr The woman had filed for a protective order. The request was denied. Ouch, can her family sue in civil court?
August 6, 201313 yr Ouch, can her family sue in civil court? Anyone can sue for anything. Can they win is the real question???
August 6, 201313 yr My mother used to work in that building, right where the shooting occurred. My sister-in-law worked there, for the same company as the victim, until about a year ago. There but for the grace of God...

August 6, 201313 yr Denied due to no HISTORY of domestic violence....too bad you can't predict the FUTURE of it, Judge.
August 6, 201313 yr Now they're saying she actually got an order, but it was rescinded due to a lack of evidence.
