Very, Very Bad Grandchild

The top story out of the metroplex this morning:

Authorities were looking for a 21-year-old man early Friday in connection with an attack on his grandparents in their home south of Celina.

The Collin County Sheriff’s Department was called about 4:30 a.m. for what originally was reported as a stabbing. When deputies arrived at the home on County Road 90, they found the elderly victims had been struck “an unknown number of times with a wooden dowel,” Lt. John Norton said.

Fred Green, 74, was transported to Presbyterian Hospital of Plano with what Lt. Norton said were described as superficial wounds. Willie Green, 78, was flown by air ambulance to Baylor Medical Center in Dallas with more serious injuries. Her condition was not immediately known, Lt. Norton said.

Uh, a wooden dowel? And the kid kinda reminds me of Christian Slater.
