imagine being the hotel receptionist seeing a whole swat team walk up to your counter with a sniper outside
The dude made it past boot camp, he didn't have much training after that. I'm not even sure if he even finished the artillery training school. I probably have more training, in handling firearms, than he had, and I was in the freaking Air Force. And if he really had 'the training', he wouldn't have had the negligent discharge. Or,…maybe he really did intend to pull the trigger to murder her. The ONLY reason to have your finger on the trigger is to shoot. I'm not buying his story that he accidently pulled the trigger.
He was scared. How tf you think those kids felt? Pos.
What is the point of surveillance cameras if you can’t make anything on them?
Senator Josh Hawley is going to go off before it happned folk were calling because of the truck driver
Props to the girl to rock this interview like that.
Crazy world!!! People need to chill the F out and go about your day!!
Financial hardship separation?
I feel really bad for the dad I’m almost certain if he met the victims family he would have done everything he could to comfort them I just hope he’s able to heal from the heartbreak and I really hope the family doesn’t blame him in anyway for his grown sons actions that he was absolutely disgusted with his sons actions
Well there you go…throwing water at someone. Now I understand why they did that, doesn't make it right, BUT….why are you throwing water at someone?
De-escalation seems to be an overlooked skill.
I do find it hard to believe that it went off. He had to take the safty iff to use it. People don't normally drive with a weapon, not on safety
this is heartbreaking, the father of the killer breaking down is so sad. and the poor niece who had to witness everything and the overall trauma of it all is so heartbreaking 💔
The victim should've never told the girl to throw the drink, you never know how far someone else is willing to take it unfortunately
When police say things like, "Why do you say he had blue eyes?" ☠️
I cant believe he only got 17 years…wtf?
Imagine if that QuikTrip was demolished that day and not the next day. They probably wouldn't have found him
James Taylor is a caring dad. This tragedy is a perfect example of why people don't need to carry guns. Too easy to use them when you're upset and lose control.
Not finding his favorite drink at the store must have really set him off 🤷
I agree, so much respect for Chris’s father. I do feel that Chris deserve to be put in jail for life.
Left the cart at the front, pulled the van up instead of walking to it, pulled in front of a speeding car, brake checks said car, then plays victim by saying I have kids in the car. She sounds super entitled, kids didn’t deserve that though. Rip
These detectives did an amazing job at investigation this case.
Shooter Looks like Dexter From the Tv Show
17 years….I can't believe how many times people get barely anytime for murder…smh
I can’t fathom what made the jury give him so much leniency. In 17 years he will be out of prison trying to return to society. I only wish I could believe in reform
He actually said that he admits to a "negligent discharge"–as if there was an opposite version, like a "thoughtful, caring discharge" of a gun towards a minivan carrying kids. People like that shitbag are the default average American: no regard for anything whatsoever but their own egos and their guns.
Skinny build? Seriously?
Road rage starts with brake checking and throwing things at cars. It's wise not to escalate any mobile interactions.
A very kind respectable father … wished i had one like him
So she brake checked him them ordered her neice to throw her cup at his moving vehicle. The brake check is considered reckless driving in most states and is illegal, and throwing anything at a moving vehicle is a felony known as throwing a deadly missile at a vehicle … from what I understand. Now you may think it's just a cup of water, but try driving safely while someone throws a large glass of water at you. Anyway, I think the two girls do hold some of the responsibility and the niece should have been charged with throwing the cup at him. Not saying he should have gotten off either. I think the judge gave him a fair sentence. Even hockey has a two minute penalty for instigating, and the girls definitely instigated this with their two criminal actions, but no gun should have been introduced into the frey.
Kudos to all the detectives for amazing, quick work solving this case. They showed great respect for everyone involved.
Completely off topic but what is with this guys hair @16:06
I am so grateful for people like you. I lost my son last year have no clue who killed him as people that don’t have closure, don’t have a life. It’s bad enough that we don’t have a normal life those who do have closure, but we have nothing. We have no life at all.
So pathetic. Cops and military always use their training as an excuse. His training kicked in and he accidentally discharged his weapon perfectly into the front windshield and into her chest..? I don’t know what kind of training that is, but he’s either John Wick or Gomer Pyle
24:49 poor dad. I’m praying for the beautiful woman that lost her life ❤❤her sweet family ❤❤
I didnt mean it to happen.. has multiple guns and ammunition in the car /facepalm
If you aren't in control of yourself at all times, please don't put a gun in your car. There is nothing more dangerous than you at that point.
So sorry for your loss
That's really tragic those oor kids .what they witnessed.
Omg people are so evil😢
Thank you for posting. Does anyone know if this trial was streamed on youtube?
First of all he wasint being shot at or a knife drawn on him ..he said a water bottle …he killed that girl …may you rot in prison the rest of your life
Yeah Dude, that's not called "negligent discharge"….thats called "murder"
durrr muh muscle memory
AIT then discharge, this guy acts like he was kicking doors in Fallujah. What a poser! As a vet, I am not sure I would accept that he is a vet without actually doing anything.
His dad broke my heart.
The girl who got hit, should have not thrown a bottle at him and just not even engaged. She would be alive if she just slowed down and let him drive away.
He's worried about what people think about him, and being treated fairly? Two little boys lost their mother because of him!
Less then 24 hours and he was in custody. Amazing police work imho.
Such an angry little coward. FTG
His "I did not mean it. I was reacting to contact. Dude you had your damn hand on your gun ahead of time!"
This is horrible. I guess it’s just because I’m older. But every time I watch something about a young person getting killed. Well, especially the young ladies. To me, they look so young but they’re all just beautiful looking gals. I know that doesn’t matter. But, I can’t find a bad feather on them. I get overcome thinking about the grief the families must feel. The void created must be huge. When my children were babies I would be watching their mother feeding them in the mornings. And, I would think how lucky the kids were to look up first thing every day. And, see this angelic face looking down and smiling at them . That’s what I feel have taken away from them when I hear a story like this. And it saddens me.
