I searched and didn't see where this had been posted.

This grandfather shot and killed his 6 year old step-grandchild and also shot his wife who jumped in front of a 5 year old child! All over a watermelon :furious:

I doubt this was the first time he's done something, just other things were not deadly.

I looked around online for this story and read comments under several articles. One said that there were 2 boys living with the grandparents because the mother was a meth. addict. It said that the mother just had twins.
I don't know if this is true of course but I thought I would share.

This man shouldn't have gotten life in prison. They should have taken outside the jail and shot him dead. Horrible.

 

[WhyaDuck?]

I hope someone in prison shoves a watermelon up where the sun don't shine.

Good Night! What is wrong with people? He must have been totally insane!

Relatives say Clark became enraged after his wife accused him of taking a piece of watermelon meant for the picnic.

Please prison officials - make this creep eat watermelon 3 x a day, 7 days a week.

August 2009:

Robert L. Clark was indicted on charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, cruelty to children, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and aggravated battery.

At the time of the shooting on June 7, police said Clark shot and killed his 6-year-old grandson in a fit of rage over a dropped watermelon...

Police say Clark also shot his wife, Linda Dale Clarke, 58, in the chest/stomach area before he himself was shot by police officers after he fired a weapon at them.

Sept 2009 - guilty plea:

Robert Clark, who appeared before Judge Joe Booth in Jackson County Superior Court, was sentenced to serve life in jail without the possibility of parole. If he had pled not guilty, the state could have sought the death penalty.
