A Texas father has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a suspected drunk driver who authorities say killed his two sons.
David Barajas, 31, and his sons were just yards from their Houston-area home Dec. 7 when a car struck them, The Associated Press reported.
David Jr., 12, died at the scene while Caleb, 11, died later at a hospital.
Barajas and his sons were pushing the family's disabled pickup truck down a dark, rural road with the boys' mother and two younger siblings inside, ABC News reported.
They were struck by 20-year-old Jose Banda, who was intoxicated at the time, police said.
Neighbors reported hearing gunshots minutes after the crash, and Banda was later found shot in the head, CBS News reported.
Witnesses said they saw Barajas walk to his house shortly after the crash and then return
Authorities haven't found the murder weapon, but told the AP they did find the same ammunition that killed Banda at Barajas' house.
Officials are waiting for results of DNA and gunshot residue tests, the Houston Chronicle reported.
if these knuckleheads were blocking the lights in dark clothing as they likely were, you'd be right on top them before you saw them on an unlit road. of course having a BAC pretty much puts all the fault on you. not that this dude is much worried as he is kinda dead.

this is a good reason to have bird shot in your shotgun, that first shot will put him down and spaghetti monster forbid you shot the wrong dude, their is a pretty good chance he can be patched up. have a round of 00 buck behind it though, so you can finish the job if you shot the right dude.

Yeah..the mask, charging him and the knife pretty much says the right dude. That it was his 15 year old son is sad, but 15 year olds don't belong running around the neighborhood all ninjaed out at 1 am. That pretty much screams criminal activity.
Think about the distance thing here. If he is close enough to charge you inside of 25 feet, you will not be able to get a shot off. If you shoot him with even birdshot at that range, dude is going to have a dinner plate sized hole in him and be very dead. Why bother?
My shot gun is loaded with 00 buck from start to finish. The idea that you can use bird shot in a shot gun as an effective defensive round to reduce collateral damage is complete bullshit.

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

Point blank, yeah the birdshot will kill him, but at at 10 ft, it may not. I assume dick cheney was pretty close to his buddy when he blasted him and dude was fine. the birdshot will slow the person down long enough to chamber something a little more potent.

And if the guy has a pistol on him while you chamber that second round after you figure out of he's fliend or foe?
Ponderous. I'll stick with what my dad taught me. Don't point your gun at anything you don't want to kill.

At 10 feet a load of birdshot is going to be about 3 inches in diameter max with one hell of a bunch of force behind it. Enough to cause aorta detachment, chest compression, knock them flat on their ass, with pellets penetrating the heart and lungs. Fucking dead.
Tell me why the cops don't use bird shot rounds in lethal force rounds ?
Rack Bri's statement also.

Exactly. That nice tight group of # 7 at the center of these represents a huge slug, that is going in deep, while turning your body parts to a quivering glob of non functioning biological matter. Just wanted to make sure we dispelled the "birdshot is ok" myth.
I never need a reason to shoot. I will do a load of buckshot tomorrow and see how that looks.

The only way Cheney puts that shot on the dude the way he did, is by both of them being complete fucking idiots in hunting and gun handling.

No, he was about 50 yards downrange as I recall.

And he was down about three stiff drinks to the war criminal lunatic. What kind of gutless slob shoots caged birds--loosed a few yards ahead of him for the first time in their brief lives. Why couldn't he have shot Scalia? :doh:

You're assuming a rational state of mind which is a stretch when your life has just been shattered by some drunk asshole. I honestly have no idea what I would do in his situation and neither do you.
