I wonder if adult beverages were involved?  This man was either extremely perturbed, or he just doesn’t play well with others. A Shingletown, Calif. man was shot by his 70-year old father last week because he was annoyed by a country song he was singing on karaoke.  William Henry Oller, Sr. was arraigned in Shasta County Superior Court on attempted murder and other charges related to the shooting of his 50-year old son William Carr Oller, Jr.

Oller, Sr., who lives in the Sacramento area, has a court-appointed attorney who entered a not guilty plea “a not guilty plea” on his behalf. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Feb. 14. Bail is set at $750,000, up from the initial $500,000.  This is what went down:  The younger Oller told the authorities that he and his father battled over his country karaoke music when the elder Oller visited his home. Oller, Sr. apparently told his son, “I’m going to shut you up” before leaving to grab a semi-automatic weapon from his truck, which he then pointed at his son, who had come outside to discuss things.  I don’t believe it.  Anyway, Junior re-entered his home and locked the door. When he believed he was safe and that dear old dad was no longer on his front porch, he opened the door, only to be confronted once again by his pistol-packing poppa. A fight ensued, and the youngster was shot several times, with wounds to his arm, shoulder and chest. He also suffered a head injury, while his father was shot in the leg during the tussle.

The report did not indicate which particular country song causes the domestic dust-up, and detectives on the case have said that they don’t know, either.  Maybe it was “Ten Feet Tall And Bullet Proof.”
