'Chevy vs. Ford' argument led to shootings, standoff, police say

Mark Edwin Turner, 56, was arrested around 2 a.m. April 23 after standoff that lasted more than two hours, the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Deputies responded to a report of a shooting around 11:30 p.m. April 22 at a Bedford home. When they arrived, they found three people outside the home with gunshot wounds, the statement said. The victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Turner, his girlfriend, her son and her son's girlfriend had been having dinner at their home, Bedford County Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance told WSET-TV.

The four were in the front yard when Turner and his girlfriend’s son began arguing about whether Chevy or Ford is a better car manufacturer, Nance said. The argument became heated and Turner allegedly pulled a knife. Turner’s girlfriend tried to get between Turner and her son, and Turner stabbed her in her lower back, Nance said.

Turner then went into the home and retrieved a gun, Nance said.

"It's then alleged that Mr. Turner came back out and approached (his girlfriend’s son). Once again, his mother tried to intervene between the two of them. During that time, she was shot a total of five times -- all of those injuries occurring to her legs," Nance said.

The woman’s son was shot in the arm, and the son’s girlfriend was hit by two bullets that Nance said ricocheted.

Chevy has some really crap vehicles, and Ford has less crappy vehicles.

Fortunately, nobody jumped up and yelled “Toyota!”, or it could have turned into a bloodbath. *chuckle*

What a bunch of idiots. I’m sure alcohol was involved but regardless, put them on a chain gang for 20 years.

This could have been prevented if the beer was substituted for mushrooms.

That's always the missing element in the Ford vs. Chevy argument.

It’s a good thing they didn’t toss MOPAR into the discussion. Then it would have really turned ugly.

We should start by banning needless apostrophe’s.

“Toyota!”

Which is the real correct answer IMO.

Why not fight over something really significant like Sammy Hagar vs David Lee Roth
