Minnesota son executes his father inside hunting cabin in front of family members: Didnt see eye to eye

A Minnesota man was on “a mission” when he executed his father in front of fellow relatives after he broke into the older man’s rural hunting cabin and shot him multiple times before fleeing.Kirk Edward Hazlett III allegedly fired nine shots at his father, 64-year-old Kirk Edward Hazlett II, including once in the head, leaving him to die in a pool of blood on his living room floor in Pine County on Nov.15, according to police records obtained by North Pine County News.The suspected gunman was spotted on a trail camera with a handgun walking towards the family’s hunting cabin at around 8:40 p.m., with the victim’s brother being alerted by the commotion and running to a bedroom to grab a gun.Hazlett III entered the cabin through a side door and shot his father at least three times, according to the criminal complaint viewed by the outlet.By the time the gunman’s uncle returned, he saw his brother lying on the ground near a couch.“(He was) still alive and breathing a little bit.”Another relative recalled the suspected gunman not saying anything when he entered and immediately fired the weapon.“He entered with a mission…he entered to kill him,” the unidentified relative said, according to the report.Hazlett III and his father had not been getting along “for some time” as the alleged killer was “not in good relations with their family,” the report added.Now face-to-face with two other relatives, Hazlett III reportedly ordered them to sit on the couch, as the two pleaded for their lives.
