ROCKVILLE, MD (WUSA9)--Domestic violence.  Every 9 seconds in the United States a woman is assaulted.  Three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners every day.  And often the weapon of choice is a gun. 

In Montgomery County there's a seize and destroy mission taking place to curb the violence. 

Several times a year the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office brings firearms seized from people under a protective order, or convicted of domestic violence, to the Dickerson Incinerator.  It is here the firearms are melted down.

"State and federal law does not allow us to give guns back because of certain prohibitions. If you've been charged with a domestic assault or other criminal convictions you are prohibited forever of being in possession of a gun," says Montgomery County Sheriff Darren Popkin.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA9) -- A puppy snatcher is on the loose.

Rockville City Police say a woman walked into a pet store and acted as if she wanted to buy the Maltese puppy but instead walked out of the store without paying for it.  

The tiny pup was snatched from Just Puppies pet store in the Twinbrook Shopping Center, 2004 Viers Mill Rd., in Rockville, at 5:30 p.m. on April 12. 

Police say it was caught on tape. They say the woman is seen holding the puppy in the playroom and when she sits down stuffs the Maltese in her purse and walks right out.

Mara Fain was helping the woman out that day.

"I was helping other customers and she just disappeared. I've never seen anything like it."

Employees never suspected the woman. But now they're worried about the health of the puppy that's about 2 months old and under 2 pounds.
