Broken homes, tragic situations.

[nuconvert]

I’m guessing that this guy’s previous actions caused the “broken home”.

Sheriff's Office says Texas Rangers collected evidence at the scene and found an AR-15, shotgun rifle, 45. caliber pistol, nine-millimeter pistol, leg irons, handcuffs and enough food for a couple of weeks inside Crain's truck.

Kind of gives credibility to the self-defense claim.

Sounds like the step dad planned on the shooting and high tailing it out to somewhere for a few weeks.

A couple weeks worth of food could get him anywhere in the US and buy him time.

As I explained to my sister, you don’t go to someone else’s house and cause trouble.

“shotgun rifle”?

Is that a 22 hornet over a 410 shotgun?

My brother had one.

Never heard anyone use that term, shotgun rifle.

Also sounds like step dad planned on taking a hostage with him.

“Hyatt told authorities that Crain turned to the doorway and accidentally dropped the nine-millimeter pistol he had in his hand.”

Was he drunk or on drugs at the time?

Crain had handcuff and food in the truck. Did he plan to kidnap his X wife.

Sounds like the son did the right thing.

Yes indeed. God has been shunned and is missing in the hearts of too many of our people.

After reading the list of stuff the dead perp had in his truck, this young man prevented something very, very bad from occurring.

Had one in PA last week too

Leg irons and handcuffs in his truck???

That guy was up to no good.

[Tax-chick]

They probably meant “shotgun, rifle, ...”

[SteveH]

maybe in contrast to a pistol that loads and shoots .410 shotgun shells (?)

[lee martell]

Leg irons?! Can anyone just order those from Amazon or maybe Walgreens?

[null and void]

Never heard anyone use that term, shotgun rifle.

As opposed to a Taurus Judge or Bond .410/.45 Long Colt derringer?

[null and void]

Nah, you can get them in the BDSM section of your local sex shop.

Uh, or so I’ve been told...

[Texas Fossil]

shrug.

I had never heard that term before.

Also noted they described the 45 caliber with . after 45

[Texas Fossil]

“45. caliber pistol”

[Texas Fossil]

“nine-millimeter pistol” = 9mm Pistol

all strange

[null and void]

I had never heard that term before.

Nor had I.
