Father Accused of Shooting, Paralyzing Daughter's Boyfriend After Finding Him in Closet
Saturday, August 18, 2007

E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
BENTONVILLE, Ark. — A man accused of shooting and paralyzing his daughter's boyfriend has been charged with first-degree battery and a terroristic act.

George David Reed, 48, of Highfill was arrested July 31 in the shooting of Michael Austin Guzman, 19.

Reed was charged Friday in Benton County Circuit Court and is free on a $150,000 bond. His arraignment is set for Sept. 10.

Authorities say Reed came home and found Guzman hiding in the closet of his 17-year-old daughter's bedroom. Police said Reed beat Guzman with a pool stick, then left the room to retrieve a gun. Guzman and his girlfriend blocked the bedroom door with a dresser, and Reed began shooting through the door, police said.

A bullet struck Guzman in the back and lodged in his spinal cord, fracturing three vertebrae. Doctors don't expect Guzman to regain any feeling or mobility below his waist, authorities said.

If convicted, Reed faces up to life in prison.

Saw that, and could relate, minus the shooting through the door and hitting him accidentally.

Since he's parlyzed from the waist down he's got no use sneaking in any girlfriends bedroom and hiding.

My sympathy lies with the father.

Harsh...You guys must not have teen sons. Blindly firing through a door and paralyzing a kid? If I were on the jury he'd get 20 years.
