Authorities: Father-in-law shoots son-in-law a second time

MANSFIELD — The man shot Wednesday night by his father-in-law has been shot by the same man before — and with the same gun, authorities said Thursday.


Alvin Gentry, 39, of the 900 block of Daw Road, is recovering in LSU Hospital in Shreveport of a through-and-through gunshot wound to his back. The injury is non-life threatening, DeSoto sheriff's Cpl. Dusty Herring said.





McKinney gave officers the gun he used in the shooting, as well as a confession, Herring said. Still, Gentry was reluctant to have charges pressed against his father-in-law, the detective added.


It was Gentry's decision years ago not to have McKinney prosecuted for shooting him the first time. In that incident, which was more than five years ago, McKinney shot Gentry in both legs below the knee.
