A homicidal maniac has struck
in Arizona murdering his own father!
I don't want us to play the blame game against the gun manufacturer for this shooting. As it is clear this demon spawn didn't truly have the love of Christ in his heart.
Psalm 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Or he wouldn't have shot his father to death!
1 Timothy 1:9-10 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Let us pray that justice will be swift and merciless against this hardened killer.
(Not really the hardened killer pictured. Merely a suspicious looking four year old.)
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. -- A 4-year-old boy maniac shot and killed his father at a home in Prescott Valley Friday, according to a spokesman for the Prescott Valley Police Dept.
Police have identified the victim as 35-year-old Justin Stanfield Thomas of Phoenix, a military veteran who served in the Army Special Forces. Detectives say he and his son were from Phoenix and they were visiting a friend at that home. The boy found a gun in the living room and shot his father.
"I really can't believe this happened," said Jeremy Hartt, a neighbor and friend of everyone involved. "It's tragic, that poor man."
Hartt said he didn't hear the gunshot but saw the aftermath. He said the friend Thomas was visiting is also a military veteran who keeps a loaded gun for protection.
"Apparently when Justin and his little boy showed up, within minutes, the little boy found the gun and said, 'hey, daddy!" and shot his father in the face," Hartt said.
"He was just a happy little boy," said Hartt confirming the child had a smile on its face when it shot his father.
Police say it's believed the visit was unannounced, which may explain why the gun was not secured with a murderer in the house.
"I don't know that this individual had time to do so, but it certainly needs to be at the forefront of anybody's mind if they have a firearm and a rampaging monster of a child comes in," said Sgt. Brandon Bonney of Prescott Valley Police. "It needs to be priority number one to secure those weapons."
Police are still investigating, but call this a (homicide hopefully).
Jeremy Hartt describes Justin Thomas as a great father and person, a pilot and green beret.
"I know that he wouldn't want us to be sad," said Hartt. "He would always want us to remember the good times we had.
