A man was shot within just an hour of being released from the Elkhart County Jail.

Back in December, Emiliano Garcia Varrios’ wife got a phone call from the Elkhart County Jail, telling her that 18-year-old William Pritt IV was being released from jail after being arrested on a battery charge against the woman.

Pritt was in a relationship with Garcia Varrios’ 14-year-old daughter, which was not approved by him and his wife.

Shortly after Pritt IV’s release, deputies responded to a call of a shooting where they found Pritt and his father who had both been shot.

Pritt IV told police that Garcia Varrios approached him when he arrived at his house and that he began shooting at him. Pritt IV’s father was shot in the ankle, and Pritt IV was shot in the shoulder and, the Goshen News reports, he was paralyzed from the chest down.

Garcia Varrios was charged with attempted murder and criminal recklessness.

Really? An 18 year old boy and a 14 year old girl? Do u have any clue how close in maturity level they would be? That comment is ignorant, in my opinion. Ppl are so ready to end someone life by sending them to jail over shit they prolly did when they were kids. So crazy.
