Violent Domestic Dispute

Fox 4 reported out of Kansas City, Missouri, on November 7 about a man with a gun who stopped a violent domestic dispute from turning deadly.

Benjamin Seadorf is credited with saving a woman from a vicious beating that was happening right in front of her kids. Seadorf was at home with his children when he heard what he described as “blood-curdling screams.” He told Fox 4 that the woman “definitely was in fear of her life…. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, profusely bawling. She just kept screaming, ‘Help me! Help! Somebody, please help me!’ over and over again.” Seadorf is a licensed gun owner and quickly retrieved his 9-millimeter handgun and ran toward the source of the yelling. He witnessed a man beating a woman inside a car.

Police later identified the suspect as 33-year-old Alarick Williams. Seadorf said Williams had ripped off some of the woman’s clothing and was beating her in front of the pair’s three children, who were inside the vehicle. “I was completely in shock that he started beating on her and forcing her in the car…. As I get close to the vehicle, I noticed her top’s ripped off. She has no shirt on, her bra is halfway off.” Seaford pointed his gun at Williams and told him to leave the woman alone. Williams complied with Seadorf’s verbal commands and was arrested by Kansas City police. The police later told Fox 4 that Williams had violently shoved the woman into the vehicle after a dispute and strangled her until she lost consciousness.
