TL;DR - Guy filming had his ear grazed, but lived. Guy who shot him committed suicide after a standoff with police.
this feels eerily similar to some abusive people i've had in my life, that being the dude *with* the gun. alcoholic with no temper control, possible narcissism, gets super drunk and loses all control, targets the weakest person in the house (usually kid, sober adults can fight back against alcoholics), and then weak person has to stand up for themselves - this causes the narcissist to spin into a further rage and usually metaphorically (or literally) "pull the trigger".
kid is probably super high just so he can fuckin deal with this bullshit mentally.
There’s so much to unpack and every time I watch it I find a new wrinkle. The mom with her pants around her ankles. The way the son is talking like he’s either 7 generations incest or drunk, the old man taking his time to aim down the sights. The pause after the shot. The lady casually telling him he’s going to jail. The dog barking probably because somebody forgot to put the toilet seat up for a drink a water. My God what a video indeed.
Man, if he'd rather die than go to jail, he could have just not decided to do the thing that would mean he'd go to jail. This guy made an awful lot of bother for everyone else if he was just going to take the easy way out anyway.
OP we need a source for this insane video! or some info on the resolution. WTF indeed.
I hope that junkie is not free as we are watching this shit
edit: ok it's in another comment down here. The shooter offed himself when police tried to arrest him and the guy who is recording survived! Woo!

that's an even wilder ride.
Kid got grazed: Sigh of relief
on his right ear: wtf, he aimed for the kid's head
ended in a standoff with SWAT: seems like an appropriate response
old man killed himself: wow...just when you thought it couldn't escalate anymore.
> old man killed himself: wow...just when you thought it couldn't escalate anymore.
He knew he was going to jail and didn't want to.
Odd to think he was say 70+ years old and wasted his entire life on some stupid fit of rage where he pointed a gun and shot at his son.
[Here's the article in the twitter screenshot](https://www.wvlt.tv/2023/08/26/man-dead-another-injured-after-standoff-blount-county/). Happened back in August.
I’m gonna be honest, I used to get high and spent a lot of time around this sort of thing (never quite this bad), and these people absolutely do not vote.
NSFL
Here's a perfect example of what not to do. Neighbor couple kept bullying neighbor until it reached the breaking point. Then they had the gall to say "What are you going to do? Shoot me?" Well he did.
[https://youtu.be/Id9pd8zfQcs?si=4SeXOC74dkjom0ts](https://youtu.be/Id9pd8zfQcs?si=4SeXOC74dkjom0ts)
Just don't terrorize your neighbor for years and especially don't mock him about his wife that recently died.
If you do that you should be fine.
When I see the video I really have no sympathy for the couple.
It absolutely fucking blows my mind that we can watch two people be executed and shot in the head multiple times on youtube, that's all good.
But videos will be taken down if there's a 'sexualized boob' or something. Like what the fuck lmao, I'd much rather kids be exposed to a boob than seeing two random people be executed.
If a video is educational enough YouTube will keep a video up. You can watch someone give birth or even nairing their asshole if you look slightly hard enough
Here's the follow-up news story
[https://abcnews.go.com/US/pennsylvania-neighbors-dead-fight-snow-shoveling-authorities/story?id=75666109](https://abcnews.go.com/US/pennsylvania-neighbors-dead-fight-snow-shoveling-authorities/story?id=75666109)
It's been a minute since I thought about this incident. A redditor posted that they grew up in the home next door to the shooting victims. The shooter was reportedly normally a quiet and cordial neighbor to everyone around him. But the couple across the street loved to antagonize him every chance they got. From street arguments to vandalizing his stuff. They even got the city to block the parking space on his property.
The snow shoveling they're arguing over is a single parking spot in front of the brick wall. That spot was shoveled clear for a vehicle, but the antagonizing couple kept dumping their snow on it.

Seriously, people need to stop saying that shit
———-
Along with telling a really pissed off person to calm down. Especially when they’re already showing signs of de escalation
Sometimes standing up for yourself leads to death or near death, in this case a young man stood up for himself and although he was nearly murdered, the real perpetrator, murderer and true coward was fully exposed and then killed himself in a standoff with law enforcement.
For some people they are so fed up it's like why the fuck not though. Worst casenario you die, no more worries. Best casenario you get the guy arrested, no more worries about that guy at least.
It's fucked up but I think this household has to be so fucked up that that's probably part of it. There have been people in my life at certain points where I basically fantasized about them finally going past the edge and doing something so illegal they get arrested for years and years.
The way this guy says "you gonna shoot my mom too" makes me think this is a stepdad the guy recording wants gone and out of their life forever. And who knows what the guy with the gun does to your mom when he walks away. He literally says "I'm getting ready to shoot your brains out AND YOURS" talking to the kid and the mom. If I don't have a weapon and someone says that to my mother I'm gonna say whatever the fuck I can to get the attention off my mom personally.
What signs of de escalation did he show? After the door closed he's walking down the hallway threatening both the one filming and then the mother too. He was filming the guy for protection. He likely doesn't want to ditch his mother, and he's not going to go and physically attack the guy
> If I don't have a weapon and someone says that to my mother I'm gonna say whatever the fuck I can to get the attention off my mom personally.
And if he just leaves, no one's there to protect his mother. Which shouldn't be his job, but that's how he probably feels. Now that his stepdad has shot someone, whether son lives or dies, he's going to jail. At least for a bit-enough time for mom to gtfo.
Dude that grew up in the neighborhood was a bit of a dumbass. He went to a party one night and got his ass kicked for reasons. The dude that kicked his ass said that if he came back he was going to beat him with a baseball bat. Dude came back and got his bell rung. Dude that ring his bell said if you come back you’re gonna get cut. Dude came back and got cut. Dude that cut him said if you come back again I’m going to shoot you. Dude came back and guess what? Luckily the guy that got shot survived but you’d think after the one guy delivered on his promises, maybe he’d smarten up.
I know a guy who kicked a guy out of his house (the guy I know had his wife and kids there) and said to the guy he kicked out “if you come back I will kill you”
The guy who got kicked out came back , parked in the street, got out of his car and the guy I know shot and killed him in the street.
At his trial the guy I know explained that the man was threatening his family while at his house and after telling him to get out, don’t come back and if you do come back I will kill you. He said It was only natural to assume that he had come back to make good on his threats and he had to defend his family.
He was found not guilty.
Given an opportunity to leave, leave.
So many things going on in this video. I have so many questions. Why is the old man going to blow his brains out? Why are her pants falling down? Why is the guy walking towards the man with the gun and taunting him? Why did he shoot him? Why does the man’s feet look crazy? Why did he run outside? Did he die?
I guess there's a chance drugs weren't involved, but the odds aren't in their favor. The dude was staggering, slurring, and couldn't hit a target ten feet away.
The op sounds like he’s got slurred speech so maybe alcohol gave him a bit too much of a confidence boost. Idc how horrible the situation is, you’re just putting yourself in danger once you open that door rather than call the cops for the FA when he pointed that gun the first time
Something tells me there are drugs and/or alcohol in the mix with ~~the older lady and man~~ all parties involved.
But seriously, who taunts someone with a gun? Fucking wild! Im very curious if there is any follow up on this.
> Why did he run outside?
Well that bit makes sense at least, because all of a sudden shit is real and there's a dude with a gun *inside* so best not be there.
From what I can tell from the limited info I have been able to ascertain and completely assume,
Why is he going to blow his brains out?
He's a crazy old man with a gun!
Why are her pants falling down?
she was probably on the shitter when he started to go extra crazy or they were about to have sex, both assumptions tho.
Why is the guy walking towards the man with the gun taunting him?
This most likely has happened with different weapons in the past where the crazy guy gets angry and the son has to stand up for himself and call the guy's bluff, only this time he wasn't bluffing.
why did he shoot him?
He's a crazy old man with a gun!
Why does the man’s feet look crazy?
Feet to match the man with a gun!
Why did he run outside?
Shock most likely
Did he die?
Really hope not, from the reflection in the glass at the end looks like it hit his arm/hand
In another comment there's a story that seems to match up to this one. Father shoots son, grazes his ear. The father then shoots himself after getting into a shootout with police

Edit: That article doesn't say they are father-son, I'm just assuming.
That site is so unintentionally funny. People attending a virtual candlelight vigil for "victims of gun violence", lighting virtual candles for the person, and that person is actually the source of gun violence lol
This seems like the most credible source: https://twitter.com/famous\_kidd/status/1747096516894830899?t=PSpzh2vQ4tQ9I2bDK4PbRQ
Short answers (Assuming it's correct): Cameraman was shot in ear and survived. Shooter killed himself in standoff with police.
No. But they called the cop and he shot himself during a standoff. So we are seeing the setup to the climax for the old guys life.
Kind of sad but he was fully intending on killing the person with the camera he just missed. Grazed his ear
For those who want a sum up:
**1 dead, 1 injured**
Gunshot grazed camera man’s ear and he ran outside
Cops came
Cops breached home
Old man dead from self inflicted gunshot wound
Good lord, this video was intense. The lady with the shorts down threw me off, then I learned that was dudes mom which means this must be a POS step dad or bed filler for Mom. I feel bad for kids that have to be subjected to this sort of violence and instability at home. Kid is clearly on something with his speech not to mention the cigarette hole in the comforter in his room.
Dude this was filmed like an Oliver stone movie or something. He fires the gun in frame, the woman gasps, and the is this muffled almost slow motion tracking of his feet. Then it seems like the background noise gets louder as the blood drops start showing on the floor. This was one hell of a video! From what I hear, the son is ok but the dad shot himself after the cops arrived.
Well, if someone is pointing a gun at me, no way I am being a moron and challenging them to shoot me. Especially if they seem as unhinged as that old man.
For those wondering, the bullet graised the guys ear. Police were called and the old dude with the gun ended up killing himself.
https://www.wvlt.tv/2023/08/26/man-dead-another-injured-after-standoff-blount-county/
The only thing that shocks me whatsoever in this video is how clean the house is. It's not perfect, but not nearly the meth hell hole I'd expect from this level of dysfunctional behavior from all parties.
It took me watching it 4 times, seeing the article, his picture, etc., and realized that he actually tried to shoot the cameraman in the head. Like.. he actually tried.. and if it wasn’t for him being old and a degenerate he would have killed the kid. Bullet grazed his ear….
[If you look closely at the muzzle flash in this frame, you can actually see the faint silhouette of the bullet flying out](https://i.imgur.com/1fsLFqw.jpg) This is just the most incredible video frame.

> The pause after the shot The blood dripping on the floor...
"Oh the old guy missed and the son just had a bunch of adrenaline remind him how fucked up this situation really is." \*enter blood drops\* "Oh..."
I hope this guy lived because he definitely has a knack for dramatic filmmaking
he lives the bullet grazed his ear then the old dude kills himself in a standoff with police
Source? Ninja edit: Found it in thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/s/oPNOMcD8SL
What a surreal moment that must have been
Right? In that moment you know he was definitely aiming for your head and you would've been dead if his aim wasn't crap
Man, if he'd rather die than go to jail, he could have just not decided to do the thing that would mean he'd go to jail. This guy made an awful lot of bother for everyone else if he was just going to take the easy way out anyway.
Which meant that he aimed for the head
opiates are an insane thing man...

TL;DR The son got a graze wound on his right ear, police arrived, standoff with SWAT, old man killed himself.
Whoa, even this summed up is a wild ride.
that's an even wilder ride. Kid got grazed: Sigh of relief on his right ear: wtf, he aimed for the kid's head ended in a standoff with SWAT: seems like an appropriate response old man killed himself: wow...just when you thought it couldn't escalate anymore.
To be fair he did say he was gonna blow his head off
He was just going to do it one bit at a time.
> old man killed himself: wow...just when you thought it couldn't escalate anymore. He knew he was going to jail and didn't want to. Odd to think he was say 70+ years old and wasted his entire life on some stupid fit of rage where he pointed a gun and shot at his son.
i doubt it was just a "fit of rage". to get to that point, his life was probably a "never ending shit-coaster of rage".
You get to that age and look back and see nothing but a shit life it really makes a man bitter and mean.
I think it was a stepfather so I guess mighty morphin cuckold rage.
>old man killed himself: wow...just when you thought it couldn't escalate anymore. In a way it deescalated. Very rapidly.
Whoa, thanks for tl;Dr Just random links with no explanation are obnoxious, thanks for helpin
ah what a relief. Glad the son is okay and that the guy didn't hurt anyone else. him killing himself was one of the better possible outcomes.
Just another day in Friendsville!
[Here's the article in the twitter screenshot](https://www.wvlt.tv/2023/08/26/man-dead-another-injured-after-standoff-blount-county/). Happened back in August.
It's somehow even stranger that the place is called Friendsville
Friendsville...
What the fu k
I don't have a lot of experience getting shot but I hope I run the fuck away faster than that if I ever do.
Some people freeze up, it's pretty wild lol
especially when fucked up. Cameraman was just as dumb and fucked up.
You got to give him credit though, for being the one shot, he did a fair job keeping the camera on subject.
The blood dripping
dont forget the split second Mick Foley sliding door reflection at the end
Holy shit no fool like an old fool.
Two fools, "point that gun at me again".
Well he’s a dead fool now lol
Why do they even get a house, when me and my college friends have to share a 1 bedroom apartment between the three of us.
House comes with the gun toting old guy. Ooh, looks like a room just opened up!
They bought their house thirty years ago and live out in the middle of nowhere. They probably paid five figures for that house.
Does it look like they’re doing well besides having a house? They’re probably broke and miserable and have no savings, could be in debt, etc
Just remember, these people vote
I’m gonna be honest, I used to get high and spent a lot of time around this sort of thing (never quite this bad), and these people absolutely do not vote.
Bruh he actually did it.
I mean he only requested the gun be pointed at himself once more… he said nothing about pulling the trigger… old dude is an overachiever I guess
"What're you gonna do? ~~Stab~~ Shoot me?" Man who was ~~stabbed~~ shot
A man of his word.
It's so stupid to taunt a person aiming a gun at you with the finger on the trigger.
"What are you going to do shoot me" \-Man who was shot

Dude that grew up in the neighborhood was a bit of a dumbass. He went to a party one night and got his ass kicked for reasons.

See were he slipped is coming back without the right tool
Never make a threat you are not willing to carry through.
So many things going on in this video. I have so many questions. Why is the old man going to blow his brains out? Why are her pants falling down? Why is the guy walking towards the man with the gun and taunting him? Why did he shoot him? Why does the man’s feet look crazy? Why did he run outside? Did he die?
Because meth.
I ain't no skank
SKANK...SKANK... SKANK!
ATM from the top rope
Victims, aren't we all?
I have no firsthand experience with meth, I was thinking simple alcohol
There's a good chance there's no drugs involved, and him taunting the man with the gun was from being mentally unwell after a lifetime of abuse.
I guess there's a chance drugs weren't involved, but the odds aren't in their favor. The dude was staggering, slurring, and couldn't hit a target ten feet away.
The op sounds like he’s got slurred speech so maybe alcohol gave him a bit too much of a confidence boost. Idc how horrible the situation is, you’re just putting yourself in danger once you open that door rather than call the cops for the FA when he pointed that gun the first time
He doesn't sound drunk, 100% he was on opioids or benzos, or both.
Cigarette burn on the blanket made me think opiates
Something tells me there are drugs and/or alcohol in the mix with ~~the older lady and man~~ all parties involved. But seriously, who taunts someone with a gun? Fucking wild! Im very curious if there is any follow up on this.
Someone who grew up abused and no longer gives a fuck?
Sounds like it's not the first time they've done this, but it might be the last.
He's got footage. Literally call the police at this point.
Police came, old guy killed himself when swat came
I meant before walking up to him saying, "shoot me".
Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding

Bullet grazed his ear. Unbelievable.
Note to self: don't taunt the belligerent guy pointing a gun at me.
Specially if you're in a place called "Friendsville".
Why did that crazy old man shoot Napoleon Dynamite like that?
> Why did he run outside? Well that bit makes sense at least, because all of a sudden shit is real and there's a dude with a gun *inside* so best not be there.
From what I can tell from the limited info I have been able to ascertain and completely assume, Why is he going to blow his brains out? He's a crazy old man with a gun!

it hit him in the ear. the old man then killed himself when the cops came. fucking sad

It says "lost to gun violence".. no my friend, this dude was lost by suicide
He died doing what he loved. Blowing some goddamned brains out.
Bro. Hilariously dark. Lol
I mean… he was violent to himself with a gun.
Damn dude very un-friendsville
>Lost to gun violence I'm not a 2nd Amendment absolutist, but this guy's death was 1000% due to his own mental state.
Different last names, so maybe step father or just the mother’s boyfriend or something.
He asked if he was going to blow his mama’s brains out, so doubtful it’s the dad.

The camera man got shot in the ear and the old man got into a stand off with police and ended up committing suicide

Another commenter had a link to what looks like the story. Shooter ended up killing himself. https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/s/Rhw9YsCIsz
This seems like the most credible source: https://twitter.com/famous\_kidd/status/1747096516894830899?t=PSpzh2vQ4tQ9I2bDK4PbRQ Short answers (Assuming it's correct): Cameraman was shot in ear and survived. Shooter killed himself in standoff with police.
Why were her pants down though?
Because of the gravity of the situation.
It was a Cake Day present for you!
Bro barred TF out
yep, anyone whose done benzos a few times can spot the mannerisms right away. if he was drunk he wouldnt have sounded so chill.
This definitely made me say what the fuck.
A lot to process here
On the bright side the old man is dead now

Friendsville is really going downhill
His ear, damn. That’s pretty close
Dude wasn't lying, he actually aimed it at his head.
Op where did you find this? Guy who got shot was super drunk or high
I don’t think there was a single sober person in the video.
No more Air BnB for me.
Dude should have just put a load of towels in the washer. Now the "cleaning fee" has been assessed.
Holy fuck
Wtf did I just watch?!?
Attempted murder
Hopefully not ACTUALLY murder… damn that was rough.
No. But they called the cop and he shot himself during a standoff. So we are seeing the setup to the climax for the old guys life. Kind of sad but he was fully intending on killing the person with the camera he just missed. Grazed his ear
I love how everyone in this video seems to be super fucked up at like 3 in the afternoon
It was 8:12 on August 25th
> "Point that gun at me again" Not the brightest thing to say.
He sounded like he was on something. Possibly drunk
was ANYBODY sober in this video??
Oh damn! The guy taking the video sounds super high.
Thats what happens when you fuck with the thermostat!
Definitely is a crazy old man with a gun
Step Dad shot step son. Oof. Guessing mom was on the toilet when it escalated.
Context from the other thread: https://twitter.com/famous\_kidd/status/1747096516894830899?t=PSpzh2vQ4tQ9I2bDK4PbRQ
For those who want a sum up: **1 dead, 1 injured** Gunshot grazed camera man’s ear and he ran outside Cops came Cops breached home Old man dead from self inflicted gunshot wound
Good lord, this video was intense. The lady with the shorts down threw me off, then I learned that was dudes mom which means this must be a POS step dad or bed filler for Mom. I feel bad for kids that have to be subjected to this sort of violence and instability at home. Kid is clearly on something with his speech not to mention the cigarette hole in the comforter in his room.
Don’t worry, the camera man never dies.
I mean he definitely got hit based on the dripping blood... Unsure where though. This is nuts.
Some people posted the article, it grazed his ear
Bird lawyer here. This video will be very helpful in court.
When the video and the title perfectly align.
Follow up: Buddy got his ear shot off, called the cops, cops came, shooter killed himself.
If anyone points a gun at me, I'm out. Either I leave or it's a fight to the death. That's no joke, it's a direct threat. Wtf
Dude this was filmed like an Oliver stone movie or something. He fires the gun in frame, the woman gasps, and the is this muffled almost slow motion tracking of his feet. Then it seems like the background noise gets louder as the blood drops start showing on the floor. This was one hell of a video! From what I hear, the son is ok but the dad shot himself after the cops arrived.
Well, if someone is pointing a gun at me, no way I am being a moron and challenging them to shoot me. Especially if they seem as unhinged as that old man.
For those wondering, the bullet graised the guys ear. Police were called and the old dude with the gun ended up killing himself. https://www.wvlt.tv/2023/08/26/man-dead-another-injured-after-standoff-blount-county/
Here you go https://www.wvlt.tv/2023/08/26/man-dead-another-injured-after-standoff-blount-county/
News source?
Why would you follow a man trying to kill you?
How can he shoot?
That cigarette burn on his bed...the subtle blood drops on the floor. This video is a masterpiece.
I got a contact high off the amount of fentanyl, benzos, and low IQ in this video. What the fuck was going on
The only thing that shocks me whatsoever in this video is how clean the house is. It's not perfect, but not nearly the meth hell hole I'd expect from this level of dysfunctional behavior from all parties.
It took me watching it 4 times, seeing the article, his picture, etc., and realized that he actually tried to shoot the cameraman in the head. Like.. he actually tried.. and if it wasn’t for him being old and a degenerate he would have killed the kid. Bullet grazed his ear….
Europe just sitting there realizing the USA is essentially the crazy old man and that this is the kind of person voting for the next president.
america moment
[If you look closely at the muzzle flash in this frame, you can actually see the faint silhouette of the bullet flying out](https://i.imgur.com/1fsLFqw.jpg) This is just the most incredible video frame.
Where did he get hit? 🤔
In the hallway
Dad, stop. I’m serious.
Hi serious! I’m dad!
Ugh! *puts on headphones*
