was killed for trying to see or take HIS OWN KIDS?
That’s a part of the story we don’t know with the info we have. It is very possible that going through a divorce he had visitation rights and was there to pick up the children for that purpose. After all it occurred at 7:20 pm on a Friday night according to that article info which could be in line with a weekend visitation.
At this stage we just don’t know the entire facts......
One of the commenters mentioned this would have been his weekend to have the kids according to Texas law. The law was posted with the comments. That’s if they already went before a judge and had a ruling.
You’re right, of course, about not knowing all the facts. While I could never even imagine pushing around an old man, God help anybody who decides to get between me and my son.
