A man from Timberlake, North Carolina has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and larceny of a motor vehicle after fatally shooting a driver who had hit and killed his teenage son. The incident occurred when the family ran out of gas and were walking home, and the driver of a truck collided with the 17-year-old boy. The driver stopped and called 911, but the boy’s father, Chad Woods, then retrieved a gun and shot the driver, identified as Jeffery McKay. Afterwards, Woods took the driver’s vehicle and drove home. It was later revealed that McKay was driving a North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections vehicle. Woods is scheduled to appear in court on August 21, and it is unclear at this time whether he has legal representation. Sgt. Kevin Morris of the sheriff’s office expressed his condolences for the families involved, stating that this was a unique and tragic situation..
