Double Murder in Oregon - It's a Family Affair

 SF Gate reports

An Oregon man has been charged with killing his mother-in-law's 19-year-old husband and 70-year-old ex-husband during a family trip to the coast, the authorities said.

Timothy Henson then kidnapped his wife and mother-and-law before officers discovered them off a spur road a few miles from the scene of the double homicide, said R. Paul Frasier, the Coos County district attorney.

Henson allegedly fired one-to-three shots inside the vehicle, with a bullet hitting his wife, 30-year-old Vallena Tuell, in the forearm. The car came to a stop and Henson shot George Micheaux III, 19, and Milton Chester Leach, 70, outside the vehicle, Frasier said.

The family lived together in Myrtle Creek, about 90 miles east of the crime scene. Henson and his wife lived in the house, the Micheauxs have a trailer on the property and Leach, the ex-husband of Ruth Sherrie Micheaux, stayed in the garage.
Another lawful gun owner who turns out to be a dangerous and irresponsible person.

This is the reason the gun-rights advocates are so aggressive in their defense of gun rights.  They know that a certain percentage of their number are like this guy.  I call them hidden criminals.  We also number them among The Famous 10% (soon to be upgraded to 50%).

    1. I thought we agreed "mass" means more than 4 victims.

      Were you trying to be funny?

    2. Humor and a poke at those that are determined to redefine 'mass' as more than one victim.

  2. This certainly is an interesting family. The mother-in-law had divorced her seventy-year-old husband and married a teenager, but the ex continued to live on the property. Myeh.

    There are at least 80,000,000 gun owners in this country, probably more than that. The total number of gun deaths and injuries from all causes, not just crime, is 100,000 per year. That hidden number is much less than one percent.

  3. The mother in law was married to a 19 year old boy, has a 30 year old daughter, and a 70 year old ex-husband?

      Micheaux and her teenage husband were married in New Mexico in November 2009.

      I'm guessing his birthday was in November.

    2. Mikeb, will you, for once, learn to use arithmetic? Half of American gun owners is forty or fifty million. That's 40,000,000 or 50,000,000. How can there be that many problem gun owners when the total number of deaths and injuries from firearms in a year--from all causes--is 100,000? Those are some lazy problems right there.
