The Associated Press reports that sheriff spokeswoman Cristal Bermudez Nunez said the grandmother felt unsafe whenever Reginald, her son, would work overnight. Therefore, she would bring her grandchildren into the bedroom with her and block the door with a leaning chair.
Nunez added that since 2011, deputies have already been called to the house 12 times for suspicious activity. However, none of the calls turned into anything significant.
Though the grandma shoots grandson who was rushed to the hospital, the old lady wasn't arrested and no charges have been filed.
The AP reports that when a reporter tried to knock at the home, a man wouldn't open the door and he also refused to comment on the issue of the story of the grandma shoots grandson.
Meanwhile, deputies are continuing their investigation. Early Tuesday morning, police tape could still be seen blocking off the home.
According to The Examiner, this story of the grandma shoots grandson comes in the wake of another shooting when a sheriff's deputy thought his daughter was an intruder.
The 16-year-old daughter reportedly tried to sneak back into their Virginia home last week and tripped the alarm. The father instantly grabbed his service handgun and fired at a dark silhouette in the middle of the night.
When the girl screamed and the father realized he had shot his daughter, the man rushed her to the hospital after calling 911. However, he was reportedly in such a state that he ran his car into a barrier.
Fortunately, paramedics on their way to the house saw the accident and they were able to pull the girl out of the wreck. She remains in stable condition after being taken to the hospital.
Grandma shoots grandson incident, along with story of the father accidentally shooting her daughter are just examples of regular everyday people making mistakes when using firearms.
