Here's just one more example of a teen getting hold of a gun and going wild.....

Wonder why they put 'justified' in quotes, as if it wasn't obvious.

[ThinkDifferent]

Yep, and of course this will be counted as a "family member killed by a gun".

"The system was not capable of protecting this family," Busch said.

Was never meant to protect the family, was never meant to be a responsible liable spouse to the family, was never meant to be sinless, was never meant to be better than this violence drunken terrorist. Try to declare your independence from government as this woman declared independence from this man, and we will see if the treatment is better.

If the anti-gun crazies had their way, this lady and possibly her son would be dead. Lucky he hit a good spot with that pea shooter.

We ought to take up a collection and buy that kid a 12 gauge.

Boy that DA sure is smart to figure that one out.

Levelheadedness by the kid ... don't know if I could shoot a 22 rifle at close range like that in the dark and be able to hit anything with accuracy. With a .22 you have to shoot for the head to do any damage, thick leather jackets could stop / deflect those bullets.

What a horrible situation and experience for that kid to live with - but less horrible than watching his crazed father murder his mother and then him. There are worse problems than having a dead dad -- having a brutal, insane father waiting to kill you is worse.

[eastforker]

Before I get flamed,let me say I do not condone what this father did.On the other hand let us understand he was upset that the mother let his son break the law by driving without a license.I do not fault the boy for defending his mother.Alot of family violence in America today is caused because parents many times use their kids to get back at their spouse for some other reason.I bet if the truth was known in this case,the kid was the reason for the separation.Mom sided with teen constantly,dad would try to discipline and get chastised for it,they seperate,she files for divorce and the guy will probably lose everything.This is probably the only woman he ever loved,even though it was okay for him to sleep around and stay out on occasion in his mind since all he ever gets at home is hot tounge and cold sholder.Life in America,you just gotta love it.

I'm just sad the youngster will have to live with that for many years to come. He did the right thing, but society will always blame him !

just a terrible story - truly sad
