a press conference.<\/a><\/p>\nJudd said the murder occurred after Crystal Kenney suggested to her husband that he turn off Monday\u2019s NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n

Responding deputies found Crystal Kenney dead and a 13-year-old girl who had been shot in the shoulder and face.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said, \u2018I begged him,\u00a0don\u2019t shoot me, don\u2019t shoot me, don\u2019t shoot me, and he shot me anyway,\u2019\u201d Judd said.<\/p>\n

He then drove to his father\u2019s home, where deputies found him.<\/p>\n
As deputies attempted to get him out of a shed, Jason fatally shot himself, Judd said.<\/p>\n
During a search of the family\u2019s home, deputies found a note Crystal wrote to her husband urging him to get help.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re drinking, you\u2019re\u00a0using cocaine\u00a0again. This is not the way the family should be. You need God,\u201d the note states, Judd said.<\/p>\n
