Kristopher Smith could not take no for an answer, authorities said.
When the 34-year-old's father — Elton Smith, the director of publications at the University of Texas at San Antonio — told him Wednesday that he wouldn't allow his son's online girlfriend to move into their home, the son holed up in his room drinking beer, said Deputy Ino Badillo, a spokesman for the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.

“And she heard the bang,” Badillo said.
