The two brothers suspected of involvement in the recent deadly shooting in Sacramento, Dandrae and Smiley Martin, share something in common besides blood.

They both beat women — a warning sign for gun violence, according to researchers.

In 7 of 10 mass shootings, the perpetrator (let's be real, usually a man) either had a history of domestic violence, or was targeting someone he had a relationship with. About 1 in 4 homicides in the United States is related to domestic violence, and too often include bystanders.
