Long Island bodybuilder Dino Tomassetti Jr., accused of shooting his parents on Christmas day, allegedly fired on the couple during a custody dispute over his one-year-old baby, Nassau County police said Wednesday.
Tomassetti Jr., 29, was arraigned Wednesday afternoon on two counts of attempted murder. He was placed back in custody directly after the hearing on Long Island and no bail has been set.
The argument over the child reportedly escalated at about 10 a.m. on December 25. The hulking trainer allegedly tried to leave the family's 8,751 square-foot Hewlett Harbor mansion with the child, but his parents tried to stop him, according Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder.
'He became involved in a domestic dispute with his parents who were caring for the one-year-old, during that argument it obviously escalated,' Ryder said during a Wednesday morning press conference. '[He] tried to take the child from [his] parents and attempted to leave the residence. When the parents objected, the defendant produced a .22-caliber pistol.'
The police commissioner said the child's mother and the infant witnessed the shooting.
Tomassetti Jr. allegedly shot his mother, Vencenza Tomassetti, 64, in the head near the left temple, and then turned the pistol on his father, Rocco Tomassetti, 65, whom he shot in the back and the wrist, according to police.
'He struck his father then in the head with the gun numerous times after he ran out of bullets,' Ryder said.
Both parents underwent surgery and have been released from the hospital. Rocco got out on December 27 and Vencenza was let go on December 28.
The child is currently with his birth mother, according to the Nassau police commissioner. Tomassetti Jr. is due back in court on January 5. His lawyer Marco Laracca told DailyMail.com that he would apply for bail around that time.

Sums it up well.
And yet some people insist that the .22LR is adequate for defensive use.
It’s not.
His father and grandfather were “construction kings” of NYC. Sammy Gravano has a podcast and YouTube channel and In the 80s the construction king of NYC was Sammy. Also known as Sammy the Bull. Underboss to John Gotti and by his own admission killer of 19 people (at least). In the 80s he controlled a bunch of unions and the concrete industry totally. Nothing got built without his being part of it. His YouTube channel is fascinating on pulling back the curtain on a lot of mafia insider dope.
What does that have to do with this story? Up to you to decide.
Ewwww .... I bet he thinks that’s a “sexy” picture.. To me, looks like maybe he’s trying to find his little “tool” that’s all shrunk up from the steroid abuse.
LoLs-- a lot of truth in that statement!
Gross!
Looks like he has earthworms under his skin!
Not attractive at all!
