11: Killing Kate

It's something no mother ever wants to hear — "don't do it Daddy, don't shoot Mommy!" And yet, it's what Kate Ranta heard on November 2, 2012. Today, she joins JJ and JP in studio to talk about her new autobiography, "Killing Kate: A Story of Turning Abuse and Tragedy into Transformation and Triumph," becoming a domestic violence and gun violence prevention activist, raising two amazing boys, and what she'd like to see change in the U.S.
