Man Shoots Son 4 Times, Flees on Father's Day.
Florida teen intervened in parental fight, with horrific results.
Police say a Florida teen stopped his parents from fighting on Father's
Day and was shot four times for his efforts, the Daytona Beach News-Journal
reports. Eugene Blackwell Jr., 18, a star weightlifter, separated his
mom from the elder Blackwell, 45, and got her out of the house. Then the
father allegedly unloaded on Eugene, shooting him in the chest, elbow,
hip, and thigh, reports WKMG.
"He was shot all over the body," said a Smyrna Beach neighbor who
called 911. "He says he can’t breathe." The neighbor could be heard
telling the young man "stay calm" and "stay with me."
Meanwhile another neighbor followed the alleged shooter, who had driven
off in a Dodge pickup. "You’re gonna love this—I’m following the
suspect," the man told 911 before stopping at the mouth of a dead-end
street where the father had parked. The suspect later turned himself in
and was charged with attempted murder. This morning, Eugene was
undergoing surgery for multiple bullet wounds at a hospital in Daytona,
the Orlando Sentinel
reports. So what started the fight? The mother brought up the idea of a
divorce and the elder Blackwell began choking her, police say.
