Florida Man Kills Wife, Self After Football Argument

A Florida man fatally shot his wife, critically wounded his stepdaughter and then killed himself after the parents argued over changing the channel during “Monday Night Football,” authorities said.

Jason Kenney, 47, was watching his favorite team, the San Francisco 49ers, defeat the Indianapolis Colts when his 38-year-old wife, Crystal Kenney, “told him that she did not want to watch football” anymore, according to a Polk County Sheriff’s statement.

jason Kenney had “been drinking during the evening” in Lakeland and around 11 p.m., with the game firmly in San Francisco’s control, “an argument began when Crystal Kenney suggested they watch something else on television and the argument escalated,” Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters.

Crystal Kenney told her 12-year-old son to go to a neighbor to call 911, and as the boy was “leaving the house, he heard a gunshot,” Grady added.

Responding deputies found Crystal Kenney deceased and her 13-year-old daughter critically wounded.
