'I'm going to shut you up,' father told son
Posted: 02/03/2012
REDDING, Calif. - A California man is facing charges after allegedly shooting his son because he didn't like his karaoke singing.
Police say it started with a heated argument between 70-year-old William Oller Sr. and his 50-year-old son, William Oller Jr.
The father allegedly asked his son to stop singing and when he didn't, told him, 'I'm going to shut you up'.
According to an arrest warrant, that's when he walked to his truck to find his handgun and shot his son four times.
Oller Sr was shot in the leg as the pair fought over the gun.
Later, Oller Jr couldn't recall what song he'd been singing to that caused the argument, but believed it was a Kenny Chesney tune.
Oller Jr was treated for non life threatening injuries from the .22 calibre bullets.
He later revealed that he didn't want his father to be charged and that his behavior was completely out of character.
