A Florida man fatally shot his wife and critically wounded his stepdaughter earlier this week after the couple got into a “heated” argument over turning off “Monday Night Football,” the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.
“Three days before Christmas, this man shot and killed his wife, shot his stepdaughter, and then shot and killed himself. This is horrific, but destroying a family and the mental health of these children so close to Christmas is especially horrific,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a press release. “We will do everything we can to help this family get through this difficult time.”
Jason Kenney, 47, had been drinking and watching his favorite team, the San Francisco 49ers, win against the Indianapolis Colts before the fatal shooting, Judd said at a press conference Tuesday.
“Well, they’re having a good night. They’re winning. They won big,” Judd said.
Towards the end of the game, his wife, 38-year-old Crystal Kenney, suggested the family watch something else, which sparked a heated argument between the two, Judd said. The fight escalated to the point where the wife told her 12-year-old son to call 911.
