Texas Man Allegedly Fatally Shoots 3-Year-Old Stepson for Jumping on His Bed: Police [View all]
An 18-year-old Texas man is facing capital murder charges after police allege he fatally shot his 3-year-old stepson in the head when the child wouldn't stop jumping on his bed, PEOPLE confirms.
According to court records obtained by PEOPLE, George Coty Wayman's arrest occurred Wednesday morning – not long after the child, Dominic Castro, died from a single gunshot wound.
Investigators claim in court records that Wayman pointed a gun at Castro while ordering him off the bed he'd been jumping on. But the boy didn't listen, according to police.

Police were initially told that the child had accidentally shot himself. But court records indicate that several eyewitnesses to the shooting accused Wayman of purposely pointing the weapon at the child, and firing off on round.

Yes indeed, this winner evidently passed a background check (or not), and used his trusty "self-defense" equalizer to discipline a 3-year old. Then, to top it off, he tried to blame the shooting on the child. This asshat displays all of the class we have come to expect from Second Amendment absolutists and right-wing gun nuts.
