Texas State students and organizations are trying to raise awareness about domestic violence. Kendra Omega Davidson tells us more in this Bobcat Update.

Bobcats Leaving Out Violence hosted a five-K walk and fundraiser Monday at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock. The organization was formed last year in honor of former Texas State Student, Tiffanie Perry, who was a victim of domestic violence. (Victim in what way? -- if she died, you should say so.)

Officer Otto Glenwinkel says he's noticed a greater effort on campus to raise awareness about preventing domestic violence.

Officer Glenwinkel says there are signs of domestic abuse that could tip off those who are concerned -- if it involves a loved one or friend. As examples, Glenwinkel said wearing excessive clothing, being jittery or easily startled are possible signs. *Preventing* violence, though, should be everyone's first objective.
