GODLEY, Texas (Reuters) - An argument over who was going to heaven and
who was going to hell ended with one Texas man shooting another to death
with a shotgun, police said on Monday.
Johnny Joslin, 20 was allegedly shot by Clayton Frank Stoker, 21, on
Sunday. The two had spent Saturday with two other men night bar hopping
in Fort Worth, about 40 miles northeast of Godley.
Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford said a witness who was the designated
driver for the group told police the four men were sitting at a table
outside a trailer park after their night on the town and entered into an
argument about religion. The talk became heated when the subject turned
to who would go to heaven and who would go to hell.
Stoker said he would settle the argument and went into a house and
returned with a shotgun, which he loaded and placed in his mouth, Alford
said the witness reported.
"The victim Joslin then took the gun out of Stokers mouth, saying, 'If
you have to shoot somebody, shoot me,'" Alford said, citing the witness
report.
The shotgun went off, hitting Joslin in the chest and killing him.
Stoker, a Johnson County corrections officer, has been arrested and
charged with first-degree murder, Alford said.
