Dad angry over 13-year-old’s haircut shoots barber three times, Texas police say

A Texas man angry about his son’s haircut shot a barber three times Saturday, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported on Twitter.

The dispute broke out about 5 p.m. over a haircut given to the man’s 13-year-old son in the 23900 block of Franz Road in Katy, west of Houston, sheriff’s officials said.

“”He went home, came back,” said detective Wyatt Wallace, KPRC reported. “They fixed the haircut for free and then that’s when the altercation occurred.”

Wallace told the station that the barber is listed in stable condition and is expected to survive. He called the incident “one of the worst” he’s seen.

Police are looking for a man driving a gray four-door sedan, possibly a Honda Accord, the sheriff’s office wrote on Twitter.
