Rosie O'Donnell Blogs About Jennifer Hudson's "Family Tragedy"

Rosie O'Donnell has blogged about the tragic murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.

"The family tragedy of Jennifer Hudson -- no words will do -- a grief 2 hard 2 comprehend," she writes on her Web site.

"Guns and domestic violence are a lethal combination -- injuring and killing women every day in the United States," she continues. "A gun is the weapon most commonly used in domestic homicides.

"In fact, more than three times as many women are murdered by guns used by their husbands or intimate acquaintances than are killed by strangers' guns, knives or other weapons combined," she goes on. "Contrary to many public perceptions, many women who are murdered are killed not by strangers but by men they know."
