Texas Teen Shoots Father In The Face During An Argument About His Christmas Present
A Texas father was shot in the face by his 14-year-old son after they got into an argument over his Christmas present.
Lucio said, “The young 16-year-old was very upset because he claimed that the rest of his friends, either got a car or a pickup for Christmas. All his father provided for him was a fishing rod.”
KRGV reports:
The father struck the boy on the head with a baseball bat. A 14-year- old brother got involved and went out to the family vehicle to retrieve a shotgun that was kept in the trunk.
“The young 14-year-old boy discharged the weapon. He discharged it twice. The second time he hit his father in part of the face and part of the shoulder.”
Lucio said the father will lose his eye.
Sheriff’s deputies spotted the 14-year-old after he sped away in an open field, then struck another vehicle.
Sergeant Michael Brooks said this sort of thing could be prevented by placing a gun lock on a weapon. In a matter of seconds, the weapon is disabled.
“If the weapon can’t be fired, then it won’t be fired,” Brooks said.
In addition, Brooks suggested keeping guns unloaded and to talk to children about firearms.
“Teaching them awareness about the weapon, teaching them how it works, when to use it, how to use it, how to clean it. Be there with them, get their hands on it. That way, they lose the curiosity and don’t want to mess with it,” he said.
Oh yes, that worked out so well in this case.
According to KRGV, the 14-year-old is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and evading arrest or detention with a motor vehicle.

the article reads both 16 and 14, but i think its safe to say it was 16 since he wanted a car. that being said, what an entitled little bastard. he might learn to appreciate processed fish while in prison. way to go dad with the gun thing.

That part is confusing. The 14-year-old shot him, but there was an argument with the 16-year-old brother, too.

ok. well, none-the-less, they are all stupid. baseball bats, guns, nice family.

Really, where in this quote do you find that? “The father struck the boy on the head with a baseball bat. A 14-year- old brother got involved and went out to the family vehicle to retrieve a shotgun that was kept in the trunk.” — I can’t find the phrase ‘while beating’ anywhere in there. You must have special glasses or something.
Sam December 28th, 2014 at 15:54
Oh I’m sorry I use the word beaten instead of struck in the head,,
,How silly of me to expect an adult to think hitting a boy in the head with a bat is not beating him with the bat..
Da….

Actually you used the word ‘beating’. Read what you wrote. That implies that the action is happening at the time of the encounter. Words mean things.
Sam December 28th, 2014 at 16:52
we dont know exactly when the shoots where fired except we do know it happened when the incident was happening,
I would say 99% of the people who read my post understood .

“Sergeant Michael Brooks said this sort of thing could be prevented by placing a gun lock on a weapon. In a matter of seconds, the weapon is disabled.” Ohh, I don’t know, let’s think this through. It could have been prevented by not hitting your kid with a baseball bat? It could have been prevented by not having an ‘effing shotgun? It could have been prevented by any number of reasonable things that just don’t occur to gun fetishists.

It could have been prevented by not raising a kid who feels entitled to get a new pickup because “all my friends got one.”

IMO the overarching parenting fail wasn’t the kids attitude (which was ridiculous, of course, 16 year olds tend to be ridiculous) it was beating him in the head with a baseball bat.

If mom had been packing at the time,
