HOUSTON (AP) — Domestic violence
cases have sharply increased in Texas in
recent years.
Figures from the state Department of
Public Safety show more than 214,000
wives, husbands, girlfriends and others
were injured or died in 2016 at the hands
of a family member. The statistics show
that’s an increase from about 193,000 in
2011.

University of North Texas students and roommates Amber Hornik, left, and Rochelle Carney were in their first-floor
apartment at The Ridge at North Texas when they heard a loud bang. They later found out the noise came from a
third-floor apartment collapsing into the unit above them.

was just another raucous house party in
her apartment building. Then she saw wa-

“Then, you open the front door and it

Victim advocates said the shooting is
an example of how domestic violence of-

Analysis: Senate bill would hike taxes for 13.8M
Rates would rise for moderate-income households
Trump’s latest tweet injected a dose of
uncertainty into the process as the Repub-
licans try to deliver on his top legislative
priority. He commended GOP leaders for
getting the tax legislation closer to passage
in recent weeks and then said, “Cut top
rate to 35% w/all of the rest going to mid-
dle income cuts?”
That puts him at odds with the House
legislation that leaves the top rate at 39.6
percent and the Senate bill as written, with
the top rate at 38.5 percent
Trump also said, “Now how about end-
ing the unfair & highly unpopular indivi-
dual mandate in [Obamajcare and reduc-
ing taxes even further?”

Promoted as
needed relief for the middle class, the Sen-
ate Republican tax overhaul actually
would increase taxes for some 13.8 million
moderate-income American households,
a bipartisan analysis showed Monday.
The assessment by Congress’ nonparti-
san Joint Committee on Taxation emerged
as the Senate’s tax-writing committee be-
gan wading through the measure, work-
ing toward the first major revamp of the
tax system in some 30 years.
Barging into the carefully calibrated
work that House and Senate Republicans
have done, President Donald Trump
called for a steeper tax cut for wealthy
Americans and pressed GOP leaders to
add a contentious health care change to
the already complex mix.
