KTAB STORY LAST NIGHT

KTAB is doing a fantastic job covering The Stop The Violence Movement, to check out the latest story go to bigcountryhomepage.com

In the last few weeks we have been sharing stories from Abilene crime victims leading up to an event next month called "Stop the Violence, Start the Love."

The proceeds from it go directly to the regional Crime Victims Crisis Center, an agency that helps victims of crime in their time of need.

This week we have the story of an Abilene woman who was a victim of crime herself, but now plans to fight back and help other is in the process.

Emily Hunter was just 14 years old when she watched her cousin's killers in an Albuquerque court room.

He was run over by drug dealers 10 years ago this month, and it's a time in her life that she now draws strength from as she helps others who are victims of violent crimes as a volunteer with the Crimes Victims Crisis Center.


It is people like her who provide help to people like Gina, who was burned by her ex-boyfriend.

Stop the Violence will be July 17th at the Abilene Civic Center.

During the event, Chief of Police Stan Standridge is scheduled to host an open forum.
