http://wfla.com/2017/12/27/22-year-old-mistaken-as-thief-killed-by-father/CULLMAN, Ala. (WIAT) – Family and friends of 22-year-old Logan Trammell are gathering to remember the young musician after an accidental shooting took his life on Christmas Eve.
Trammell’s family says he was driving away from his parents’ home around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday in one of his father’s vehicles when it happened.
His father was unaware that his son was borrowing his truck. Fearing the vehicle was being stolen, the family says he yelled out and fired a warning shot in the air in an attempt to get the driver’s attention. They say he then shot once at the tailgate to stop whoever was taking the truck.
Once the truck stopped, they say his father realized he had accidentally shot his own son.
