Man Kills Girlfriend’s Ex-Husband, Claims Self-Defense
A Texas man shot and killed his girlfriend’s ex-husband during a dispute over childcare in a newly-released video. Kyle Carruth claims self defense and has not been arrested over the incident, which happened when Chad Read got into an argument with his ex-wife, Christina, over what time he was supposed to pick up their son. Once Chad arrived at the home in Lubbock, Carruth and Christina told the father to leave. As the argument heated up, Carruth went inside and got a rifle.
Once he seen that gun he should have Just left and called the police. You still trying to go toe to toe with somebody with a gun. They both angry. I would have told him. No. That's my son's father. The custody arrangement is between the father and the mother. Not the Father and mother, and boyfriend.
"I told you" Kyle he didn't throw a single punch, he was a good distance away when he shot. As a man I can say that that's not a situation where you feel threatened for your life to the point u feel you have to kill somebody.
You do NOT involve anyone besides the biological parents in custody conversations.. and if u can’t do it nicely you get a PROFESSIONAL third party to go through.
Sleep defense??!!!!!! MY ASS!!!!! He's the one who came out with the dam gun !!!!!!! This is sad I feel bad for his son and his mother is an idiot letting her bf get involved big mistakes these mothers do now a days!!!!!
People need to stop throwing around the word “self-defense” because wtf was Kyle defending himself from? His own rifle? The video clearly shows that both were going head to head. But of course Big guy Kyle can’t fight like A man gotta get his weapon and show who’s boss over the other man’s SON.
As a gun owner, I have to fight against the temptation to fantasize about using my weapon. It's very seductive and some folks just dream about it all the time. I can't tell you how many online arguments I've had with people who invite me over to their home to shoot me, it's insane! And yes, I live in Texas. This is one reason why I would never conceal carry, I wouldn't want a disagreement to turn into taking another person's life.
What they don’t show you is the part where the father swings the boyfriend around into the yard and the husband walking towards the door as the boyfriend lifts the gun and shots him in the back. In my opinion this is murder the “new” boyfriend shouldn’t of been involved in the dispute between the wife and ex husband it was between them he was there to pick up his son that the wife and boyfriend were refusing to do. Also there was absolutely no need for a gun to even be involved when your fists work well enough. It was the husbands time with his son. Also I can’t imagine the mental torture this would be on the son.
In all honestly even if the guy had the gun he should of lowkey back off and not antagonize him like that,I disapprove of that boyfriend butting into that argument, all I’m saying is that it’s certainly is self defense
If it's texes and he is on his property then yea its self defense …. Is castle all
How is this self defense ?
YOU GOING TO JAIL. WHERE IS THE SON. WHY THEY WOULDN'T LET HIM GET HIS SON.
CALL THE COP'S
Has not being arrested okay have a good day

Whatever happened to the good old fist fight? So the guy thought his life was in danger how because the guy he shot had fist,SO SAD 😞
Every murderer is gonna claim self-defense after the Rittenhouse case.👎☹😡
What I learn never to be with someone who owns a gun and bad temper. Soon your next.
So is that a new thing Irresponsible adults do now? Pull out guns and shoot at people amd calling it "Self Defence"

Well….he got what he asked for…I would've left at that point, but that's just me
