It's estimated that 2 out of every 5 adults in Oklahoma have been the victims of abuse by an intimate partner.

A candlelight vigil will be held this evening for the victims of domestic abuse. Colleen McCarty is one of the organizers of the event and she joined News On 6 at noon to preview the event.

The event is hosted by the Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law and Justice and is Wednesday night from 7:30 to 9:30 at Owen Park.
