MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) — A collision between a small plane and an F-16 fighter jet that killed a father and son was the second fatal tragedy to strike their family in just four days, a relative told The Associated Press.
Michael Johnson and his son, Joseph, died when the Cessna 150 flown by the younger Johnson was torn apart Tuesday in the accident with the jet.
On Saturday, Michael Johnson's brother and sister-in-law were found dead at their home in Missouri. The couple's 16-year-old grandson has been charged with second-degree murder in the slayings, police said.
"It's unbelievable," said Connie Stallworth, the men's sister. "There just aren't words to express it. I'm dumbfounded that it happened twice in a few days."
