Abel Her should be 17 today. He was shot and killed in a 2024 domestic murder in Oklahoma City. #disarmdomesticviolence
"July 10th is the birthday of Abel Ken Herr. He died at 15, killed by his stepfather in a 2024 domestic shooting in Oklahoma City. A bright and loving soul, Abel is remembered for his unwavering loyalty, infectious laugh, and loving heart. Despite a protective order requiring him to stay away from his family and surrender all firearms, the killer armed himself and followed the family from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. He killed Abel, injured Abel's younger sibling and a police officer, then killed himself at the scene. Domestic abuse and guns create a deadly mix. Although federal law prohibits convicted domestic abusers and those under active protective orders from possessing guns, laws are often not enforced at the local level. Abusers are often instructed to surrender weapons, but are rarely forced to do so."
