The son then allegedly admitted to “removing the gun from the safe, loading bullets into it and walking over to his father’s side of the bed”, according to the affidavit. “He pulled back the hammer and fired the gun at his father,” the affidavit adds.

When asked what he believed would happen when he fired the gun, the boy responded that he was “mad” and that he had “not thought about that”, according to investigators.

Jesus man. This is a horrific situation. That poor woman lost her husband and, effectively, her son in one night.

But don't worry bro all this tragedies are worth it because all the guns will protect America for tyranny... Wait, hold up...

Its always a tragedy. It feels simultaneously avoidable and inevitable. Its always a tragedy.

Douglas and Jillian adopted Clayton in 2018, according to court documents. Stuckey told News 8 that he only met the 11-year-old at one point in-person when he was much younger, as he left the country for nearly a decade and does not travel back often.

Stuckey is in a graduate MBA program, and received a undergraduate degree in Psychology Clinical mental health from Southern New Hampshire University, and tells News 8 that Clayton has autism, which escalated in 2025.

Stuckey says, at Doug and Jill's request, he drafted a letter to the Susquenita School District asking to move Clayton to a behavioral education center, citing rising concerns about his behavior with fellow classmates.

"In the letter, I was speaking to the tune of the school violence that we're seeing and that some of these subtle behaviors could eventually lead to a situation," Stuckey said.

Yeah, my kid is way too unpredictable, there's is absolutely no way that I could ever have a firearm in my home or else this will be me or my wife, 100% certainty. We regularly get punched, kicked, bitten, etc almost daily. When he's angry (which is often) he just can't think, and then he regrets his actions later, but he does some dumb shit when he's angry...

This must be the fault of violent video games

Not guns

Nope

Charlie Kirk approved of that

If just the father had his own gun to him, he could have had defended himself.

11 year old boy who barely understands the consequences of his actions obviously has access to weapons and then shoots his dad....

This is extremely tragic but this obviously being the US, you can bet your ass that this little boy's life hasn't been ruined enough.

The government will jump on this, jail his ass as an adult because I don't know why they have laws for kids of they try all kids like adults anyways, and they'll make sure he'll be fucked for life.

The US is a shit hole third world banana republic

What's this world turning into?!

WHAT

White 40something American with a goatee and a shaved head who keeps a gun next to his bed and is raising a violent kid?

Will withhold judgment on whether this is any big loss.

its like that guy that got enraged and killed his baby/child after accidentally disconnecting the game console.

Is America great again yet?
