We will see what the Grand Jury has to say. And if there is a trial what the jury has to say.
From this article http://southeasttexastoday.com/blog/201 ... th-murder/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sources tell Southeast Texas Today that a deadly family feud involving a man and his step son lead to one shot and killed and the other stabbed in critical condition.

Reports claim that the two men purposely wrecked into each other after one man tried to run the other off of the road on South Main in Vidor. Both men jumped out of the vehicle and started arguing with each other. Sources tell us it was a father by the name of Roger Allen and hist step son Kelley Mitchell involved in the argument.

The argument got very heated leading to the step father pulling out a knife and stabbing the step son and then the step son pulling out a rifle and shooting and killing the step father, Roger Allen at the scene. Reports say Kelley Mitchell, the step son was rushed to the hospital and is in critical condition due to a severe injury from being stabbed.
Sounds like there may have been a lot more to this and since the lines are pretty gray, best to let a GJ figure out if Mitchell was truly acting in self defense or if he was the instigator.

I have believe that as often as not, by the end, you all in blue were the problem. "Just because I wanna kill my brother with this here hammer don't mean I want you to haul him off to jail!"
Yep. Had one wife physically jump on the other officer because he was handcuffing the husband to take him to jail 'Like she asked him to do'. Then when I went to pull her off the other officer, she assaulted me. They both went to jail that night. We made sure they had separate rooms as far apart from each other as possoble until they sobered up. :totap:

Ex-husbands shooting ex-wives, ex-in-laws trying to injure or kill their child's ex, etc is pretty common. One of the most volatile calls we ever took as LEO's was a domestic violence. The emotions run deep in these types of disputes and they can lead to some really nasty situations.
