  J-Dizzle--actually i do know the family, the victim. So not hurting a fly is a little different from shootimg someone in both lege, and there were children present- who's to say he wsan't lucky to have shit one of the kids when he was shooting at Gary? Give me a break. Your right the news didn't tell half the story, it made the victim sound like an abuser and that's not right!

  Im sorry there "Traumatized" but you obviously have no idea what you are talking about and just want to spout off for something to do.I can also tell that you dont know Dave even the slightest amount. Dave is one of the most gentle and soft spoken people I know. He wouldnt hurt a fly unless it was necessary. Im sure I would defend my children with a gun if need be,especially if my daughter were being phisically abused. The news story dosnt tell the half of it, and how would you know if their children were present or not? Oh, you dont! I totally agree with "abuser got what he deserved" If you dont know what you are talking about or especially if you dont know the people involved that you should probubly just SHUT IT!! Holla! :)

  Sounds to me like a lot of people are judging a situation that do not have all the facts surrounding it. I think we have all been taught that most situations do not warrant shooting someone however depending on the severuty of the situation I know my own father would give up his freedom to protect his child or grandchildren. By no means am I saying it makes it right but when one feels that the situation is becoming life threatening to the people they love they will tend to do anything to protect them. He could have just as easily pointed the gun at the man's head and didn't. Yes 2 shots may have been more than neccessary however no one but the people present can know if one shot deterred the son-in-law enough to get his to stop. The best is to pray that the final outcome changes all people involved for the better. My heart goes out to all the people and I pray for all to have positive occur within their lives.

  First of all we don't know all of the details of the situation. Everyone on here is talking about how the man that got shot was a wife beater. The article said they were "fighting". How do you arrive at the point that the man was beating the woman? You automatically assume that because you're uneducated and biased. For all you know the woman could have been abusing the male and called her dad to finish it off. It's not out of reason. Things like that happen outside of the bubbles that you all live in. The bottom line is that you don't solve violence with violence. THis man who was the father is one of the dumbest people and should be locked up and have the key thrown away. I guess the problem or "fight" wasn't bad enough for the police to be called. This father in law is very selfish to do this to his grandchildren and his daughter. He should get attempted murder instead of assault.

  no one should judge any body until they hear the whole story. Alot of people only here bits and pieces. If you know Mr. Kooltsra you would say no way that couldn't been him. Dave would help any one out if needed it. Just image if it was your kid or grand kid. What would you do if no one was listening.

  I can't believe all the people on here supporting someone shooting their son in law in front of his wife and children. You can't tell me that it is justice to traumatize those kids like that. Besides if there was abuse going on why weren't the authorities involved? Give me a break, it wasn't a physical fight it was a verbal one and it happened days before Daddy Dearest came over toting a gun! I hope they keep that psycho locked up for many years and I hope he pays for all the counseling that family is going to need!

  This is a case where I admire the shooter. I know the man. The abuse deserved the outcome. I would do the same for my children.

  This story does not specify if the fight between the man and woman was verbal or physical. If it were verbal, I would have to say the shooting was excessive. If it were physical, I would have to say the shooting would be justified to a certain extent. Although, shooting the man in both legs is a little excessive and torturous.

  Instead of giving therapy to the man who put a halt to the abuse, how about some therapy for the wife abuser?

  my dad might do the same thing if I was being hurt. Not to say it was right to do, but if someone hurt my kids I can't say I wouldn't.
