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 kind of father hits his son in the head with a baseball bat? Why are so many people ignoring this assault with a deadly weapon? This shooting was justified.

The father struck the boy on the head with a baseball bat.
Seems like that should be the headline. Or maybe ‘son stops his father from beating his brother with a baseball bat’.
I’m no gun nut, but a pretty handy use for one is to stop your abusive father from killing your brother with a baseball bat. Yes?

Divine once upset the family Xmas tree when it was clear that she was NEVER going to get those Cha-Cha heels she was dreaming of. Same rule applies here.

Wait…the father hit the 16 year-old in the head with a baseball bat?!?! And that’s when the 14 year-old shot him? And the cops are charging the kid but not the father for aggravated assault? Seriously?

If he were my son, I’d stick it up his backside!

Would you have been beating on his brother with a baseball bat in the first place? This seems like a really screwed up family.

What did the brother do to get a bat to the head.

Well, it seems the son didn’t like the present he got for Christmas and an argument started. IMO, a 16 year old being ungrateful for Christmas presents can get socks and undies for his next present. I can’t see what would possess someone to hit their kid in the head with a bat.

so you believe he deserved to be hit with a baseball bat?

Not hitting your kids with baseball bats also helps prevent their siblings from running to get lose firearms to defend them. This family seems to be very dysfunctional.

and the violent father who hit his other son with a baseball bat? Seems the young man was protecting his brother from an obviously violent and abusive father

This article completely down played the fact that the father attacked the 16 year older brother with a deadly weapon by hitting him in the head with baseball bat.The father was abusive and the younger brother felt the need to protect his older brother from further potentially deadly assault from the father. If we Liberals want to be taken seriously we need stop down playing facts to fit our agenda. The younger brother was justified, the father should be the one in jail for assault with a deadly weapon.
