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.

What’s the big deal? Isn’t this how disagreements get dealt with in Texas on a routine basis?

Good point.

O.K. wait a minute … Didn’t the article say the boy was defending his 16 year old brother from the father who hit him in the head with a baseball bat, and yet the boy is charged. Something sounds off here.
Carla Akins December 28th, 2014 at 06:11
It sounds like there should be charges all around. The ever popular parenting by baseball bat, follow by car trunk firearm storage….

The 14 yr old heard about the NRA shooter of the month award and wanted in
Joe_the_Troll December 28th, 2014 at 10:29
Or maybe he was responding to his father HITTING HIS BROTHER IN THE HEAD WITH A BASEBALL BAT. Ya think, maybe?

Overkill YA THUNK

Overkill in response to overkill.
Joe_the_Troll December 29th, 2014 at 16:14
The baseball bat was definitely overkill, I agree. That is no way to settle an argument, and it is in fact a felony.

This one happened in TX on Christmas day too…It didn’t make national though. Hmm: A San Antonio man has been shot dead while teaching his 5-year-old son how to ride a bike.
Police are investigating the death Wednesday of 47-year-old Kenneth Anderson. Family members say he was outside his home with his son when a car pulled up and someone shot him twice in the chest.
He was quickly taken to an area hospital, but died on Christmas Day.

Well aren’t those dumbassed cops going to charge the so called father with aggravated assault against the 16 y/o son that he raised to be ungrateful after hitting him in the head with a baseball bat? It sounded to me as if the 14 y/o was trying to defend his brother against a brute. Just a quick question to the dumb mother, what else has this pig of a father done to his sons in the past while you mommy dearest did nothing?

It’s interesting how this one story made national news. In my hometown of Chicago, there were 15 homicides in December. Most of them were shootings. 15…but that’s down from 38 in November. None of them made national news, that I am aware of. December isn’t over yet. In this story we are commenting on here, the people involved will all live.
sharongibson December 28th, 2014 at 10:28
Chicago…there’s always Chicago, apparently the only city in the United States that has gun deaths.
Laura December 28th, 2014 at 11:08
It’s my home…kind of understandable why I might mention it.
Laura December 28th, 2014 at 11:53
…and also, Chicago and New York duke it out for first place in total homicides each year. Nice.

Pretty sure more than one story made national news. I’ve even heard of this ‘Chicago’ place you mention. Most likely on the national news…
Laura December 28th, 2014 at 11:25
Since I live there, it might make sense that I notice what the Chicago Tribune prints, but local is about as far as that news goes. Instead, there’s this story and a lot of bigoted comments about Texas and hillbilly families. Good luck finding even one of the over 400 Chicago homicides in national news coverage. Why did this one make it?
