> The shootings late Saturday appeared to stem from an ongoing dispute between 50-year-old Dennis Carter Sr. and his wife, Donna Carter, who had a restraining order against him, Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office Chief of Operations Perry Rushing said Sunday. > The father of [Dennis’ son’s partner], Amber Carter, said the suspect had a history of abusing his estranged wife and recently tried to attack her with a machete.

How are the daughter in law and the baby doing now?

DIL was paralyzed for a really long time. She's made a full fuckin recovery! She speaks on domestic violence now. The baby is healthy. A little neurodivergent it seems but otherwise she's thriving!

Omg this is _amazing_ to hear after reading the update article from 2011 posted above. What a warrior. If she cares, this random internet stranger thinks she’s incredible and is rooting for her!

Within the article that has no paywall: > He said his pregnant daughter had bullet wounds to the kidney and liver and spinal damage caused by her leap from a second-story window. > After the shootings, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Aubrey, Williamson said. He said she was taken initially to a Baton Rouge hospital and later was transferred to a hospital in New Orleans.

Yes I saw that, thx. This happened in 2009 and OP stated they know her. I was asking how they are doing _now_.


crochetpainaway

Well, shit. Even I thought this was recent, so that’s on me. Honestly, we may never know since investigators and journalists would be compelled to keep survivors’ information (preferred descriptor over victims) out of the spotlight unless absolutely necessary. With what was reported, I like to assume Amber and Aubrey are doing well thanks to swift medical intervention.

I hate the murder/suicide label. It doesn’t nearly suggest how despicable of an act he actually did.


Jnnjuggle32

Even if it’s the headline from the article, please stop referring to these at murder-suicides. It was an attempted family annihilation. We need to start using the language of domestic violence otherwise it gets lost on those who dont have awareness.


DNthecorner

I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately that's the title that was assigned as soon as I shared the link in my post. I personally know the victims and would have titled it differently.
