FL: Domestic Defense, Father Attacks his Wife, Son intervenes, Shoots Father

This morning at approximately 12:47 a.m., the Baker County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center received a call that a disturbance was in progress on Doyle Williams Road in Sanderson. While deputies were en route to the residence, a second call was made to BCSO with the caller stating that a person had been shot at the same residence. Deputies arrived and discovered a white male subject had been shot and began to render aid. BCSO Detectives responded to the scene to investigate the circumstances of the shooting. Detectives learned that there was a physical domestic disturbance at the residence between a husband and his wife. The wife was allegedly being physically battered by her husband. An adult son, who also lives at the residence, intervened to protect his mother. That led to the father and son having a physical altercation in the front yard. Mother and son stated that the husband/father got into a vehicle and attempted to run them over. The son, who had retrieved a firearm, fired into the moving vehicle, striking his father, and critically injuring him. The father was air lifted to UF Health in Jacksonville. The FDLE Crime Scene Unit responded to process the crime scene. Lt. Mancini has discussed the case with Assistant State Attorney Ralph Yazdiya and no arrests have been made at this time. We will continue the investigation, review the crime scene evidence, and collaborate with the state attorney to determine the course of action. This is an on-going investigation, and no names will be released at this time.
