Argument over NFL anthem kneeling leads to father shooting son on Thanksgiving
A North Carolina man was arrested after shooting his son on Thanksgiving after an argument broke out about NFL players kneeling during the national anthem, according to CBS 17.
Jorge Luis Valencia Lamadrid, 51, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after shooting his 21-year-old son in the hand and leg after a family argument escalated. The incident occurred as the family was sitting down to have Thanksgiving dinner.
Lamadrid’s 21-year-old son reportedly got into a fight with his older brother concerning players kneeling during the anthem. Witnesses told police the victim had been drinking heavily throughout the day. Lamadrid asked the 21-year-old to leave the house. He did not, and the fight between the two brothers became physical.
At that point, Lamadrid attempted to break up the fight. When he realized he couldn’t do that, Lamadrid got his shotgun.
