I grew up in a very small town. The only murder I can remember was a husband who shot his wife in the face with a shotgun. He was an aggressive controlling drunk. This type of shit happens all the time... so it’s not something to take lightly.

That being said, it totally depends on what the “real” story is here. Is he an asshole? Or did he shove her after she punched him. You’d have to be sure of the situation, but if he’s abusing her (assuming it’s a he /her) thing, and I was a friend of the woman, I would confront him. If I was a puny nerd like half of you guys, I would bring backup. Then would try convincing her to leave as that would be the safest option.

A woman’s shelter doesn’t go out and take people in, they have to be ready to accept help and ask a friend or ask the shelter for it. So yeah, her only good option if he’s abusive is to get away right now whatever the cost and play it from there.
