Investigation remains ongoing after domestic fight led to shooting in Lee County
Authorities are still investigating a domestic fight which led to a 29-year-old man, who was armed with a handgun, shooting his 53-year-old father, who was armed with an axe.
Lee County Commonwealth’s Attorney H. Fuller Cridlin told News 5 earlier this week that the incident involved a father and a son. His office is working closely with Virginia State Police to determine whether a crime was committed, or whether the shooter acted justifiably in self-defense.
According to Virginia State Police, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call on Wednesday afternoon about a fight between two adult male family members in the 100 block of Sugar Maple Drive in Jonesville. A second call minutes later detailed that the fight escalated to one of the men being knocked unconscious. A third call reported the man regained consciousness, the fighting resumed between the men, and that one of the men was armed with an axe and the other was armed with a handgun.
Police said it was the 29-year-old man armed with a handgun who had shot the 53-year-old man who was armed with an axe.

Wait, is that my imagination or does that Mauser broomhandle have a removable 20-round mag?
Why, yes, yes it is.
It’s a variant of the original.
From the article, the original had a 10 rd enclosed, feed-from-the-top magazine.
Variants had 10 or 20 round detachable magazines.
The C96 depicted is likely the Schnellfeuer model, which was full-auto. That button on the side of the frame is prolly the selector switch. They are a class III weapon. Except, the magazine has .177 engraved on it, a pellet gun caliber. Also, the “WWII” engraving on the frame makes me think this a pellet gun look- alike. I have a 9mm C96, which is the most accurate nine I own.
Well, there goes any chance of inheritance or being mentioned favorably in the will.
For sure a good way to be cut out of the will. Should of just “axed” him nicely.
If only one story is gonna be told, make sure it is YOUR story that is told.
You could really mop up with that broom handle.
Great comment 5th77 FA, looks like your on a punny roll this morning.
So much to unpack here.
First, it’s August. In Arizona. The temperature ranges from “hot!”, to “damned hot!”.
Second, “I guess She’s Just Not That Into You”. Take the hint.
Why does the headline say argument if the article says he assaulted her?
Was that directed at me, CCO, or rhetorical? The latter, I hope, because I don’t claim any special insight inside a reporter’s head. Nor do I want any.
Raises an interesting point: you can’t pick a fight with someone, shoot them, and claim self-defense – you started the whole mess. Here we have a woman blocking the driveway when the guy is trying to leave, yet shoots the guy in the car? Sounds to me like charges could be forthcoming, despite any alleged assault in the house (noting that assault can be merely verbal, and that absent physical assault, her story is uncorroborated.)
The father really Axed for it when he came after his son holding an axe. No axedent in this case and the DA most likely would axe for a self defense aquital.
I’ve got a Fell Good for y’all, 36 years ago today the greatest movie committed to film was released. If your heart pumps red, white and blue, as does mine, you will pour a healthy one and sip lively to celebrate the par excellence that is Red Dawn!
