There is something Western about this

Police have launched a manhunt for a suspect who allegedly shot an employee of a Texas barbershop over his 13-year-old son’s haircut before fleeing the scene, officials said.
The shooting happened following an altercation inside the barbershop, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, which tweeted on Saturday: “Deputies are at a barber shop … where a male employee appears to have been shot by a customer, who then fled.”

A detective later told local news outlet KPRC that the barber had fixed the 13-year-old’s haircut for free after he returned to the shop with his father.



“He went home, came back. They fixed the haircut for free and then that’s when the altercation occurred”, Wallace Wyatt, a detective in Harris County, told the news outlet.

He described the shooting as “one of the worst ones I’ve heard” and suggested the child was inside the shop when the man began shooting at the barber.

Katy used to be a pretty nice town. Then people moved there.

He threw his life away over a haircut?

I would suspect that the dad lives in a life of gangs and violence. Using violence to get someone's way is a way of life. The barber not being in a gang would not stop such a person.

Good chance the dad is on his way back to Mexico by now.

Don't forget his sons life too. He gets to grow up in a single parent home now severely lowering his chances of escaping that kind of life.

The OP didn't post all of the story (i.e. more under a photo) so unless you clicked the link you missed this: "In an update posted to Twitter, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office described the suspect as a black male possibly driving a Honda accord."

The shooter might be headed to Mexico, but he's not likely heading back to Mexico.

Nah ... perp is described as "black male".

Shouldn't we see photographic evidence of the bad haircut before we all get so judgmental? I mean, it IS Texas.

Slight drift. How do you fix a bad haircut?? I think pictures would help explain the story. LOL

Smooth out the stair-steps

Think Dad has impulse and emotional issues?

Dumbass should’ve just had them buzz cut it. That’s what I’ve had them do the couple of times I’ve had a bad haircut in the past.

Guess the guy was too dumb or hot-headed to realize it would grow back.

I’m guessing it was a mullet haircut!

A surprisingly wide range of life's problems can be solved by shooting some sumbitch or other.

Bad haircuts, though, well, that's kinda questionable. I'm not so sure that gunfire is the way to go. I could be wrong. Shit's complicated.

This was most likely over a lack of ‘speck rather than a bad haircut. You can bet this isn’t the first time this turd addressed something relatively minor with excessive violence.

Well, yeah, you better reco'nize, else we gonna be th'owin' shots.

Okay, black male, not headed to Mexico. Still, he probably grew up without a good father figure and never really matured. A few generations of this, and prisons would be full of these people...wait they are.

Fortunately with Trump doing everything he can to promote job growth for all Americans, some of these problems may be avoided. Keeping the family unit together would solve so many problems.

If a wise man hasn’t already said that, one just did

They sure got the message here in Chicago!

I am considering putting that on my letterhead...
