Shotgun Wedding

Boyd Wright, aged 80, of Madison, Indiana is a father of 3 children; his parenting techniques can be regarded as a little extreme. 

This brutal and crazy story started when Wright’s daughter brought home her 57-year-old boyfriend, Harry Harris. First impressions can often be telling and for Harris it was unfortunately fatal.

Wright knew from the start he didn’t like Harris; the boyfriend, according to Wright, was arrogant and abrasive. In response to Harris’ stand-offish behavior, Wright, on Tuesday, July 13th decided to murder his daughter’s boyfriend. 

At approximately 6 O’clock on the evening of the 13th, Wright spotted Harris sitting at his dining room table. The site of the boyfriend prompted Harris to retrieve his .20 gauge shotgun from his bedroom. 

With shotgun in hand, Wright walked behind Harris, pulled the trigger and unloaded a slug into the man’s back. Thirty minutes later, Harris died at a Madison hospital. 

When police officers arrived at the gruesome scene, they found Wright bleeding and clutching a king. Officials postulated that Wright had cut himself to possibly establish a self-defense alibi. 

Wright was brought to custody where he confessed to murdering Harris simply because; he didn’t like him too much. Wright remains in Jefferson County Jail where he is charged with 1st-degree murder.
