An Austin musician is behind bars after he allegedly shot and killed his parents “in cold blood” on April 10.
Dillon Bridgers, 30, then called 911 and confessed to shooting his parents to death at their rural McLennan County home.
Sheriff Parnell McNamara said the parents were “gunned down in cold blood” after a heated argument with their son at around 3 a.m. on April 10.
Bridgers’ mom called 911 in her final moments as Bridgers shouted threats at her and his father.
“Did you really do that? You called the cops on your son, again,” Bridgers could be heard telling the victim before firing shots, striking his dad.
“Give me the gun,” the terrified woman asked Bridgers who responded, “I’m not going to shoot anyone else.”
“Give me the gun, you’re losing control,” the mother said.
“At the time, you can hear (Bridgers) chamber a round in the firearm and the victim yells, ‘Dillon’, and then you hear a gunshot and someone fall and moan,” police said.
“(Bridgers) states, ‘yeah’, and then fires two more shots.”
Bridgers fled the scene to Waco where he was arrested about two hours later on capital murder charges.
