A 31-year-old Minnesota man is accused of fatally shooting his father 'execution style,' while holding two witnesses captive, inside his family's hunting cabin.
A 31-year-old Minnesota man is accused of shooting his father nine times 'execution-style' at the family’s rural hunting cabin, police said. Kirk Edward Hazlett III, 31, of Cambridge, is charged with second-degree murder and felony kidnapping following the incident, according to the Pine County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities said in a release that tensions boiled over between Hazlett and his father, 62-year-old Kirk Edward Hazlett II, on Nov. 15 in Hinckley, Minnesota.
The witness alleged that the 31-year-old directed his uncle and the other witness to sit on the couch. They said they feared for their lives, believing Hazlett may shoot them next. The gunshot victim, the brother told deputies, was still alive at that point because he could be seen 'breathing a little bit.' But moments later, Hazlett allegedly stood over his dad 'and shot him in the head execution style,' court documents said, according to the local outlet.
Hazlett III was arrested and booked in the Pine County Jail. Hinckley is about an 80-mile drive north from Minneapolis.
