AZ - State senate candidate Bobby Wilson once charged with killing mother, sister

[villiscan]

Arizona senate candidate reveals he shot his own mother dead in 'self-defense' 55 years ago - and says it shows he's 'living proof' that people should trust a 'good guy with a gun'

• Republican Bobby Wilson, 72, says his mother was 'insane' and shot at him with a rifle when he was in bed in their Oklahoma farmhouse one night in 1963
• He then shot and killed her - Wilson's sister also died that night after their house caught fire
• Wilson told a crowd at the Moms Demand Action forum in Tucson he was 'living proof' that people should trust a 'good guy with a gun'
• Gabby Giffords, the former congresswoman who was shot in Tucson in 2011, and other gun violence survivors were in the audience
• Rep. Daniel Hernandez - who was at the scene when Giffords was shot - said Wilson brought up the Giffords shooting, stating she should have had security
• Wilson is running for a seat currently held by Democrat Sen. Andrea Dalessandro

Hmmm.

His story is crazy.

1) His mother attacked him.
2) His sister died when the mom hit her in the head with the gun.
3) Jars of gasoline spilled all over the floor.
4) A spark from a light switch caused everything to catch on fire.

Did this guy get away with murder?

Probably could get a free NRA life membership too.
