A Joaquin man was shot and killed and his son is recovering from a gun- shot wound suffered when a long-time land feud escalate between neighbors Tuesday afternoon.

Center Broadcasting has learned James Leggett reportedly shot Richard Sharp, Sr. and wounded Richard Sharp, Jr. at Leggett’s home on FM 139.

The elder Sharp was pronounced dead at the scene, while the younger was taken by Life Flight to University Health in Shreveport after receiving a gunshot wound to the leg. After surgery he's reported to be OK by a family member.

A Texas Ranger is investigating the shootings at the request of Shelby County Sheriff Willis Blackwell.

We’re still waiting for an official press release, but from the information we’ve gathered, the Sharps walked to Leggett’s armed around 1 p.m., discharged a gun in the air, with Leggett reportedly firing and striking Sharp, Sr., and then turning the gun on Sharp, Jr.

We received information Leggett and Sharp, Sr. were involved in a physical altercation last weekend, with Sharp receiving a broken arm. Sharp was released from the hospital Tuesday, and reportedly decided to approach Leggett, joined by his son.

No arrest have been made.
