SHOCKING STORY OUT OF ALABAMA!

[SemperFiBlue]

I know I get irritated and upset with every loss and every bad year that my schools (Coffee County and MTSU) have, but I'm not the kind that would take it this far.

 

It's still just a game.

 

Apparently some guy tried to shoot his son in the head after his team, the Alabama Crimson Tide, lost in double overtime to Arkansas this past Saturday.

Man Charged With Attempted Murder

 

Tuesday, September 30, 2003

 

Associated Press

 

PINSON, Ala. -- A Pinson man was charged with attempted murder for holding a gun to his son's head and pulling the trigger in the midst of a tantrum after Alabama's double overtime loss to Arkansas Saturday.

 

The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Seth Logan, who said he picked the wrong time to ask his dad for a car, sheriff's spokesman Deputy Randy Christian said Monday.

 

Joseph Alan Logan, 46, surrendered to police Saturday and was charged with attempted murder and domestic violence. He was released from the Jefferson County jail Sunday on $7,500 bond.

 

"I know we take football serious in the South," Christian told The Birmingham News for a Tuesday story, "but that's crossing the line."

 

The request upset Joseph Logan because his son has already wrecked several vehicles, Logan told investigators.

 

"He claimed he was just trying to scare his son," Christian said.

 

According to the police report, Joseph Logan had been drinking alcohol and began slamming doors, tossing boxes and throwing dishes in the sink after the Crimson Tide lost its football game to Arkansas, 34-31 in double overtime Saturday.

 

While Joseph Logan was throwing the tantrum, Seth Logan asked for a new car.

 

Joseph Logan then retrieved a 9 mm pistol from his car, grabbed his son by the collar and pressed the gun to his son's forehead, the report said.

 

Logan threatened to shoot his son in the head, then pulled the trigger.

 

Seth Logan moved his head just as his father fired and the bullet whizzed past him, the report said.

 

Seth Logan fled to a neighbor's house to call police. He told police his ear was numb and his head ringing, but he was OK.

 

Sheriff's authorities called the SWAT team after discovering the armed father still had a 13-year-old son in the house with him.

 

Joseph Alan Logan walked out of the house with the other son and turned himself in to police just before the SWAT team arrived, Christian said.

This is not about football... this guy was already on the brink of a breakdown and the loss to Arkansas was the "Straw that broke the camels back." I don't feel one bit sorry for the man but I do feel bad for his son.
