Well, this is very sad and unfortunate.
Not to say that Prindle is anyone to be admired for what he did...but why can't the media report with any more moral complexity than the "attempted double homicide" angle?
But, there's more to it than that. Obviously this guy was out of line and resorted to measures that were far more extreme than necessary. However, it doesn't sound like he intended to shoot his son. Way down in the last line of the story, it says...Jacksonville Sheriff's Officers say Prindle, Jr., 68, shot his son, Kai Prindle, 11 and the boy's mother, Denise Farve, 49, before killing himself. Farve died from her injuries Friday.
If that grazing was the kid's only injury, then it really sounds like he was shooting his wife but accidentally hit his son.A bullet grazed Kai Prindle's arm. He is currently in serious condition. Twyla Prindle now says she is Kai's legal guardian.
