Dad Shoots Son Over Country Karaoke Song

July 19, 2012

The call him "Karaoke Kid.

A 70-year-old man is alleged to have shot his son – because he didn’t like his country music karaoke singing.

William Oller Sr told his son ‘I’m going to shut you up’ before getting a handgun from his truck car and shooting his son four times.

William Oller Jr was shot in shoulder, arm and chest and also sustained a head wound during the fight with his father outside their home in Redding California.

Somebody should write a song about this. A country song!
