56 y/o John Maloney from Florida will NOT be charged with SHOOTING his 30 y/o SON and KILLING him after he killed him to stop him from STRANGLING his OTHER SON to death in a drunken argument during a game of POOL!!

Joseph was killed in the shooting and police said the father was JUSTIFIED in using deadly force against his own son.

The savage fight happened between 30 y/o Joseph and 26 y/o James at 6AM in the morning while they were at their parents house playing a game of pool while wasted

Joseph was acting "irrationally" after drinking beer with brother James for 8 hours and after the game of pool descended into chaos, Joseph pulled a knife on his brother while strangling him with one arm.

John shouted at Joseph to release James and was forced to shoot him SEVERAL times with a revolver..

The mother saw the whole thing and called 911 in a distraught voice as Sheriff William Snyder said the physical altercation was all over a game of pool that escalated into an attack

The parents said they heard their younger son pleading for his brother to let go and to stop choking him but the brother continued to strangle him.

Snyder said "I don't know if there is a way i could accurately describe the look on his face. I am not sure what the dad could have done"

When asked why there won't be charges, he said the physical evidence and witness statements indicate that deadly force was necessary to prevent death and that the father was justified.

If you were the father, would you have done the same thing to your own son?.

Joseph - Deceased

Were not sure what happened before. Maybe James tried to kill him first, but messed up...

Either way, there might have been another way to handle this...

What if he wanted to make sure he had at least one son left? Had the 30 y/o succeeded in killing his brother, he'd wind up in prison.

He had a knife, trying to physically stop him would've likely lead to being incapacitated and there being 2 deaths.

Absolutely. I wouldn't stand and watch him attempt to kill my other son. Perhaps shooting him several times was a bit extreme but then again maybe not.

I think most fathers would still try though. maybe it WOULD end in 2 deaths. or an injury. I just think the fact he was willing to shoot his son, without even trying anything else shows he did have a favorite. I know it might not be logical but I think a normal father would risk getting killed instead of killing their son

and yea, he shot him multiple times. that is messed up. I really do think he didn't like that son

Not exactly for shits and giggles. I think most people would try to incapacitate them first. Even one shot might be enough to get him to stop. Or shoot his arm. It could make it harder to strangle someone if they had shot arms...

There is only so much you can get from a story and this farther just acted on instinct. In situations like this you really don't have time to think logically and he's lost one of his sons because of it. It's easy to be backseat driver though.

I think I've shot people and dealt with people in confrontations if you're at the point where you nee a warning shot it's not going to factor in. You think shooting into the air while a drunk guy is trying to stab and strangle someone is going to stop him you don't know how combat situations play out.

If you're robbing a bank or trying to stop an unarmed attack and you draw your gun that's enough warning for a rational reasonable person. If you are to the point where you fire a "warning" shot you might as well just shoot the person because you're wasting ammo.

That's not easy to do in a high pressure situation. Then factor in that the shoulder is right next to a few major organs and the thigh has a major artery running through it. Shooting to injure isn't practical in a real life setting.

I've seen competition shooters miss center mass shots on moving targets in combat. Hell, we train on reloading under stress because you lose fine motor skill and often time eye coordination.

Add to that a drunk guy literally fighting someone to the death probably won't stop if you just hit thigh muscle. Depending on the caliber.
