Texas Dad Nearly Shoots Own Daughter During Confrontation Over Son Whipping Black Neighbor's Door

Texas Dad Nearly Shoots Own Daughter During Confrontation Over Son Whipping Black Neighbor's Door

A recent neighborhood altercation almost turned violent, and even deadly, in Texas this week.

A 9-year-old showed up at his neighbor's house with a whip and began beating their door, which was recorded on the family's Ring camera.


The mother of the family, Carissa Nash, appeared at her front door and told the boy:

"Little boy, you better get your a** up and off my porch before I call the police, beating on my door like this! I will call the police, you need to leave. Don’t you ever beat on my godd**n door like that. GO!"

Angered, the child left the porch and their property, but not before striking the whip against the family's car, leaving a large scratch in the side of the Audi.

When Carissa Nash's husband, Dee, arrived at home after work, he looked at the car and went to discuss what happened with the neighbors while Carissa recorded their interaction. She later shared the video on Instagram.

The interaction did not go well and turned out to be anything but civil as the 9-year-old's father, Bryan Thomas Brunson, demanded that Dee and Carissa Nash leave his property.

Brunson also had walked out of his front door while holding a semi-automatic, claiming that it was necessary given their history.

He set it down on the porch, but when Dee attempted to continue to discuss the situation with him, Brunson picked the gun up and accidentally pulled the trigger.

He almost shot himself, as well as his young daughter, who was hiding behind him at the family's front door.

The Nashes also pointed out the other family's stories weren't totally consistent and also didn't add up.

The father claimed his son was first looking for Nash's 13-year-old son, claiming the teen had beat up the 9-year-old. However, the two boys attend different schools and the 13-year-old's classes ended two hours after the other boy's, which meant he was still in class when the other was walking home and unable to beat him up.

Later, the 9-year-old claimed to be at the Nash's front door because he was furious the Nash's daughter had fought back when he attempted to beat her up. When she didn't come out, the resulting incident ensued.

Twitter was shocked at what happened and relieved the daughter was okay.





Others were worried about what the son with the whip, and his sister, were being taught.



Since the Nash family shared what happened on social media, more information about the neighborhood was released, as well as their involvement with the police.

Not only had the 9-year-old attempted to beat the Nash's daughter up, but he also allegedly tried to attack a group of students who were walking home from school. He allegedly spun around, trying to hit each kid with a skateboard.

The 9-year-old hit one girl, whose older brother then beat him up.

The Nashes reflected:

"There was a brother, and he got in there and said, 'I had to defend my sister. He was hitting my sister."

Despite the 9-year-old's repeated behavior, no charges would be filed against him, because he wasn't old enough to be charged for mischief. The police also pointed out that the family was likely moving soon, so keeping the peace might be for the best.

Brunson has since been arrested for his actions and for potentially endangering his child.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
