Jimmy Blake Terry, 25, of Murphys, was in the hospital in Modesto in custody on a parole violation when he walked away. It is a noteworthy feat as his uncle had earlier blasted him in the gut with a 12-gague loaded with rock salt and metal scrap.
Robert Terry had loaded up the shotgun with the intent of protecting himself from his nephew if necessary, but not killing him. Young Jimmy thought his uncle had implicated him in a string of local burglaries. Robert knew his nephew thought that he had fingered him, and was afraid that young Jimmy would come after him.
Robert was initially arrested for shooting Jimmy, but the DA kicked him loose after determining it was indeed self-defense. The cops are still looking for young Jimmy according to the Modesto Bee.
