“Murder-suicides happen, on average, 10 times a week somewhere in the U.S.”
CORROBORATED
Two separate web search results report similar figures regarding the frequency of murder-suicides. One states that the study found 'nine murder-suicides per week' based on a specific reporting period, and another states that 'Murder-suicides happen, on average, 10 times a week somewhere in the U.S.' This corroboration from different search results supports the claim's general assertion.

“Murder-suicides occur more than once a day somewhere in the U.S., mostly committed by white men armed with guns, against their romantic partners.”
CORROBORATED
Two distinct web search results make claims regarding the frequency and nature of murder-suicides. One states they occur 'more than once a day somewhere in the U.S., mostly committed by white men armed with guns, against their romantic partners.' A second result references a study that discusses the frequency of these events, supporting the general scope of the claim, though the specific details (white men, guns, romantic partners) are directly quoted from the first source.
