Alabama father and son kill each other in fight over dog

An Alabama man and his son killed each other in a dispute over a dog, authorities said.

Washington County Sheriff Richard Stringer told WALA-TV that Kelvin James Coker, 60, discovered his dog had been shot on Saturday. The man then drove to the home of his 32-year-old son, Kelvin Nicholas Coker, who claimed to have killed the animal.

The older man shot first, shooting his son in the leg, and the younger man returned fire with a shotgun, Stringer said. Both men died from their wounds.

The sheriff called the family “very dysfunctional.”

Ya think?

Between this and some other stories I'm wondering if there isn't some kind of rush to get Darwin Award nominations in before the end of the year.

Unanswered Questions Include:

..And the Dog?
Did he survive getting shot by Jr., and is he now up for adoption? Why did Jr. shoot Fido in the first place?
Was the dog seen eating from the table again?

“Sounds like something Florida-Man would do.”

The condition is migrating north! Like African killer bees.

Way down in South Alabama,almost to Mobile and almost in Mississippi. We don’t do that sort of think here in North Alabama . . . unless you live in Walker County. Folks have been known to explode when they start their lawnmowers there. . . .

They’re not wearing masks!!! Therefore, their deaths are attributed to the virus.
