Former NFL Player Antonio Armstrong And Wife Shot Dead By Their 16-year Old Son by Ahmed99(op): 10:57pm On Jul 31, 2016
Former NFL player Antonio Armstrong and his wife
Dawn were both shot in the early hours of Friday
morning allegedly by their teenage son. The suspect
called 911 at around 1.30AM, shortly after the
shooting occurred. He has since then been charged
as a juvenile.
According to reports , the couple was shot by their
16-year old son whose name has not been released
by the police.
Dawn Armstrong died at the scene of the shooting,
while her husband was later pronounced dead at the
city’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, having suffered
a gunshot wound to his head.
All three of the couple’s children were in the house
at the time of the shooting including their 20-year-
old son and a teenage daughter, neither of whom
were hurt.
Police said they did not believe there was any
history of domestic abuse in the family. Houston
police homicide investigator Jimmy Dodson told
KPRC that the Armstrongs were “an outstanding
family” adding that Mr Armstrong was an associate
pastor at a local church. “He’s a great guy. The
mother was apparently a great mother, according to
family members,” Mr Dodson said. “It was kind of
the all-American family.”
The deceased, Antonio Armstrong, 42 year-old, was
a college football star at Texas A&M University. He
was later named an All-American in his senior
season as a linebacker for the A&M Aggies. He
was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth
round of the 1995 NFL Draft but fractured an ankle
in training and was released later that year, signing
with the Dolphins, for whom he played four games.

As it is "Guns don't kill people, but people kill People". This abominable act is only made in America, where a son could shot dead his own parent.
