Father Shoots Son During Thanksgiving Scuffle Over NFL Kneelers

Thanksgiving is a time to give back and stuff your face with greens, turkey, and pie—but not everyone spent their holiday in shameful gluttony this year. We get it…some folks do not look forward to being with family, but one North Carolina man named Jorge took things way too far when he shot his own son in the hand and leg. Sheesh!

From TMZ:

“Here’s the deal … cops say 51-year-old Jorge Luis Valencia-Lamadrid had invited family members over to his home for Turkey Day when his two sons began arguing about NFL kneelers. The sons began fighting and Jorge tried to break it up — but realized his kids were too strong. So, he went and got his shotgun.”

Serious question: is your pops grabbing the ratchet if you and your sibling get into a brotherly squabble?

“Officials say Jorge told his 21-year-old son — who appeared intoxicated — to leave the home. Things began to escalate again — and the son allegedly threw a water bottle at Jorge, striking him in the face — and causing him to squeeze the trigger on his gun. The shot connected with his son — striking him in the hand and leg. Jorge told cops he checked on his son, made sure he wasn’t seriously injured and then went inside to change his clothes.”

According to TMZ, his son “will be fine” but Jorge was arrested and “charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury,” although he was released. Click here to see Jorge’s mugshot…he looks highly surprised that he wasn’t able to enjoy his Thanksgiving dinner after doing bodily harm to his own flesh and blood.
