Boy, 16, Charged With Assault With Deadly Weapon:
A 16-year-old boy was charged with shooting his father in their southwest Harris County home Friday, Local 2 reported. The shooting was originally reported as a case of domestic abuse, but deputies said the boy apparently witnessed a sexual act between his parents and thought the father was abusing the mother.
Sheriff's deputies charged the boy with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony.
Detectives told Local 2 the mother and father were engaged in consensual sex when the shooting occurred at about 3:30 a.m. inside the family's home on Mira Monte near Corta.
Investigators said the couple's 11-year-old son woke up to his mother making loud noises.
"During the course of love making, the wife was evidently being somewhat loud … loud enough to where it woke the children up," Harris County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Mike Smith told Local 2.
The boy woke his brother, who then walked into his parent's bedroom and told his father, 43-year-old Jacob Hughes, to leave his mother alone.
Officials said that is when the teen shot his father in the arm.
Detectives originally told Local 2 that the son said he fired the gun as a way of defending his mother during an argument he thought she was having with his father.
"The children interpreted the noise as their mother being in danger," Smith said. "The 11-year-old went into the room, forcibly went into the room, to protect his mother. (The child) observed his parents making love and got the 16-year-old. The 16-year-old came back in and fired the shot."
After investigating previous problems at the home, officials said there have been previous reports of abuse in the family and that father had been charged and convicted of domestic violence.
Officials said the children feared their mother was being hurt due to their father's previous convictions for abuse and that is the reason the oldest son shot his father.
Authorities said they have not determined whether the mother was screaming for help.
"That is a very important question. I can see why you are asking that. We are trying to work that out right now. We are trying to decide if it was a passionate scream or was it a cry for help," Smith said.
Hughes was transported to a hospital to be treated for his injuries. He was released late Friday morning.
Officials said the couple has been married for 20 years.
A pillow?
I'm glad my dog can't shoot a gun. LOL
Good point, One I did not consider before my prior post.
A POEM TO ME MUDDER
When me prayers were poorly said
Who tucked me in my widdle bed
And spanked me till my ass was red
Me Mudder.
Who took me from my cozy cot
And put me on the ice cold pot
And made me pee if I could not
Me Mudder
And when the morning light would come
And in my crib I’d dribble some
Who wiped my tiny widdle bum
Me Mudder.
And who me hair would neatly part
And hug me gently to her heart
And sometimes squeeze me till I fart
Me Mudder
Who looked at me with eyebrows knit
And nearly had a king sized fit
When in me Sunday pants I shit
Me Mudder
And when at night the bed did squeak
Me raised me head to have a peek
Who yelled at me to go to sleep
Me Fodder
If he had a hot, tall blonde sexy female gym teacher when he was 13, this never would have happened!

That's a strong possibility. But why not say that instead?
No thanks....got one....
Now THAT'S funny!
OMG! That is hilarious!
We know that she allowed him back once after suffering abuse. Why not again? The kids are the real victims here.

Well, some details would be nice...
Heh. Or make easily-confused noises when recreating, eh?
I love my dog too, but love has limits in my household!
I dunno...nothing seems to impress durasell.
Hey, I know a few gals who would looooooove to meet the father. What a stud!
I know the look...LOL!
Exactly! The public school system failed these kids!!! (And it failed me too--all I had were big fat ex-Marines for gym teachers. NOT sexy!)
...a cheap joke at some dead guy's expense, is that too much to ask for?
