After a dispute about orange juice got heated, a Louisiana man found himself in handcuffs for shooting his son in the ass yesterday. Dramatic much?
According to the Associated Press, Eldridge Dukes, 58, got into an argument with his 18-year-old son about the amount of orange juice present in their Baton Rouge, La. home. The fight, which featured a broken vase, continued outside the home, where Dukes reportedly chased his son before firing three shots at him. One struck him in the rear, sending him to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Dukes' aggression resulted in charges for illegal use of a dangerous weapon and attempted manslaughter. Family issues should never escalate to this point. Like, ever.
