The sky is blue and water is wet.
Secondary title adopted for better comprehensibility.
Article:
>__Women are the victims of most domestic shootings in Switzerland__
>__Domestic homicides involving firearms in Switzerland are largely femicides, with Swiss men over 60 often the perpetrators and Swiss women the primary victims.__
>Firearms are a significant factor in domestic homicides, with most perpetrators being Swiss nationals over 60, according to a study commissioned by the Swiss government.
>Swiss women over 60 are particularly at risk of being killed by firearms at home, the government announced on Wednesday. The Federal Council, Switzerland’s executive body, reviewed a report from the Federal Office for Gender Equality, prepared in response to a parliamentary mandate.
>The study also reveals that, between 2015 and 2022, only one of the 41 perpetrators of domestic firearm homicides was female. This means the vast majority of these cases were femicides, according to the press release.
>The study also shows that firearm use in homicides has generally declined in Switzerland over the past three decades. However, this decline has been much smaller in domestic settings.

Waiting on the comments that are just one hair of “they deserve it, we have to do the army”.
But yeah, it’s the unfortunate reality of our situations. Violence at home towards women are heavily present and when there’s a weapon at home at the same time, the step to use it are way lower. And while I haven’t looked at the stats, I’d imagine the “over 60” comes from them having often more weapon, either hold from the army or from sports shooting.
