Husband kills police cadet, leaving her son without parents on Thanksgiving.

Tragedy struck days before Thanksgiving when Taylor Hagan, a 32-year-old police cadet, was shot to death by her husband, Briton Hagan, 41, at the Olympus Encantada apartment building in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A neighbor contacted the police after hearing a shooting, and when they arrived, they found both Taylor and Briton Hagan dead.

Taylor had been working hard to complete the Albuquerque Police Department Academy, and police Chief Medina expressed his grief for the loss of such a promising officer. "Taylor chose to serve the community as a police officer and keep the community safe," he said.

Unfortunately, this tragedy isn't an isolated incident. Maria Cahuenas, the director of the Domestic Violence Resource Center, reminded us that "domestic violence can become lethal in one second." With the holidays just around the corner, she urged people to take extra care and precautions. "People are isolated with their offenders," she warned, "so people gathering together can lead to some frustrations and arguments escalating." Let us all remember to keep each other safe during the holiday season.
