Chief Harteau Speaks At Gabby Giffords' Anti-Gun Violence Conference
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau is in Washington, D.C. Wednesday as part of the launch of a new bipartisan group called Women's Coalition for Common Sense.
The group was started by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. She survived after she was shot in the head at a campaign event in Arizona back in 2011.
Giffords says gun violence is directly a women's issue.
"Guns and domestic violence are a deadly mix," Giffords said. "We don't agree about everything, but we can agree on this: Dangerous people with guns are a threat to women."
Harteau was the only law enforcement executive invited to Wednesday's session.
