The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, 14 September 1881 September 14, 1881
Mr. John Johnson of Troy, Ala., was shot by his son David and instantly killed, 
on Sunday night last.  Mr. Johnson was under the influence of liquor, and 
maltreated his wife and children.  The neighbors made an ineffectual effort to 
get him to desist, when he threatened their lives and they left the house.  He 
then began whipping his wife and children, and went into the yard for a fence 
rail, and returned to the house.  As he entered, his son fired upon him with a 
pistol, killing him instantly.  No arrest was made of young John, and it is 
thought, none will be made. – Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer.
