57-year-old Karen Quickery is the mother of Michael Phelps. Phelps, as you may know, is accused of shooting fellow Martinsville West Middle School student Chance Jackson in the abdomen.

Quickery says the reason her son shot Chance Jackson is that she drinks. Wait, what?

The mother of a 15-year-old boy accused in a central Indiana school shooting says her drinking fueled her son’s anger.

Fifty-seven-year-old Karen Quickery told a Morgan County judge Tuesday that she wasn’t a good disciplinarian. The suspect’s four siblings testified that they all had been in trouble with the law as juveniles.

Ok, throw her in jail too.
