On the day before Mother's Day, Brianna Hefner Ballor, 31, a former athlete and valedictorian at Morgan Township High School, was shot to death by her husband, Glenn Ballor, at their Morgan Township home, authorities said.

Ballor, 38, then turned the gun on himself, authorities said. Their 2-year-daughter was unharmed.

The couple were in the middle of a divorce, and police said they found evidence of a fight before the shooting.

Hefner Ballor worked as a supervisor for the Porter County Juvenile Detention Center.

"Our hearts are aching," said Allison Cox, the center's director.

A few months later, Cox and Porter Circuit Court Judge Mary Harper launched a social media campaign called Bri's RACE or Raising Awareness Changes Everything.
