Minnesota Mother of Three Killed by Husband in Murder-Suicide

People reports, Jennifer Yang, 36, was shot to death by her husband, Fue Her, 40 on March 10. Anoka County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of two dead individuals at Andover, Minn. The pair appeared to have suffered from fatal gunshot wounds. 

Jennifer Yang’s brother, David Yang, told KSTP-TV that his sister never showed any signs of domestic violence. Yang told the station, "Till this day, I still don't understand. I think she was just trying to protect us.” Yang blames their Hmong culture’s glorification of patriarchy for his sister’s death saying, "In the Hmong culture, us men are the ones that make all the rules. With the females, they feel like they have nowhere else to go.” 

The couple leaves behind three children, ages 2, 8, and 12. Jennifer Yang’s GoFundMe describes her as, "A caring daughter and sister, devoted mother, and friend to all – that is the Jennifer we want to remember."
