Search warrants obtained by CBS 17 on Tuesday revealed the suspect, Jorge Luis Valencia Lamadrid, 51, is the father of the 21-year-old victim. According to the warrant, witnesses told police that the victim had been drinking heavily throughout the day before the physical and verbal confrontation that led to the shooting occurred. Lamadrid told police that his family had just sat down to have Thanksgiving dinner when two of his sons got into an argument about athletes taking a knee during the national anthem, warrants show... The victim then began throwing patio furniture in the backyard. Lamadrid was still holding the shotgun as the furniture was being thrown around, warrants show. According to Lamadrid, his son then threw a water bottle at him and hit him in the face, which caused him to squeeze the trigger and fire off a shot. The victim was hit in the hand and leg. Lamadrid told police he went to check on his son and then went inside to get dressed and wait for police to arrive. The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries.

One of those days where the best thing that could have happened to you would have been to burn down your garage frying a turkey...
They can get copies of search warrants that have been filed.
Funny thing is in my family we usually get dressed before sitting down to Thanksgiving day dinner.
Thanks Colin.
Lesson Learned: Don’t throw a water bottle into the face of a man holding a loaded gun.
Well, the first inkling of a potential ‘problem’ in Paradise may be that dad was sitting down to Thanksgiving Dinner holding a shotgun.
I at least keep mine in the corner but do loosen the strap on my shoulder holster lest someone try to ‘steal the big leg’.
Whole family probably spent their life sitting in a circle so as not to have to turn their back on each other...
I hope none of the pellets made it into the turkey. That could ruin their Thanksgiving. ;)
That’s right, a southern state so obviously everybody must sound like a hillbilly, right?
I would suspect “Jorge Luis Valencia Lamadrid” does not have a “Ma” but a madre or mamacita and pretty sure does not know what “fixin’ to go” anywhere means.
You have to read almost to the end of the article to learn that the victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
As far as the Dad changing clothes? How many of us have had to loosen our belts after the meal? He may have decided to wear ‘comfortable clothes’ beforehand. Once the police and ambulance was called, very logical to be dressed for pictures (aka mug shots)!
Uh, you need to get out more . “Ma”, is a practically a universal address between mothers and children. But, anyways, “bless your heart”.
It sounds like the likely illegal alien family thinks they are still in central America. Good times!
Nice comeback, Potsie
You throw things at your father on his property when he is holding a shotgun... you had it coming.
No matter what, you had it coming.
