Tragic Chicago Shooting: Wife's Order of Protection Ignored, Husband Allegedly Kills Her and Daughter

Prosecutors allege that Jose Alvarez shot and killed his wife, Karina Gonzalez, and their 15-year-old daughter after accusing Gonzalez of cheating on him. Gonzalez had obtained an order of protection against Alvarez, but he never received it. The order granted Gonzalez exclusive access to their home and banned Alvarez from making contact with her. Two weeks later, Alvarez shot his wife and daughter, also injuring his son. Alvarez, who had a revoked firearm owner's identification card, was charged with two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of aggravated battery by discharging a firearm.

Tennessee Governor Lee proposes gun reform measures including mental health order of protection.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is backing legislation for an order of protection law that would allow courts and law enforcement to temporarily remove firearms from people for up to 180 days if a judge finds a person poses a "current and ongoing" risk of serious harm to themselves or others. The proposal does not include emergency "ex parte" hearings, the mechanism many other states use when determining emergency firearm revocation. The legislation would instead allow law enforcement to file a court petition for a temporary mental health order if someone has threatened or attempted suicide or homicide, or "places another in reasonable fear of violent behavior and serious physical harm."
