Officials say George Saunders was located and arrested at the Wal-Mart store in Mineola. According to KETK and the Wood County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Saunders was arrested for an outstanding warrant for manslaughter in the death of his son, Loren Saunders. <\/p>\n<p>George Saunders was originally scheduled to turn himself in to the Wood County Sheriff\u2019s Office with his attorney. However, authorities say Saunders failed to show. A Crimestoppers tip indicated that Saunders was staying at a residence on Patten street in Mineola. Mineola Police Officer Carolyn Tanner located his vehicle at the Wal-Mart store at Loop 564 and State Highway 37. Further information indicated that Saunders was at Wal-Mart. Saunders is currently in custody in the Wood County Detention Facility.<\/p>\n<p>Lab results conclude Loren Saunders, 16, was shot by his father, 56, in the chest on January 18. In May, Wood County officials said the circumstances surrounding the teen\u2019s death were suspicious after he was found with a single gunshot wound to the chest. Sheriff\u2019s deputies were dispatched to a residence at Chaney Point RV Park on County Road 1590 after Saunders\u2019s father reported his son had been shot and he was doing CPR on him. <\/p>\n<p>The case was turned over to the Wood County District Attorney\u2019s Office for further investigation after the medical examiner\u2019s office said evidence didn\u2019t add up to the death being considered accidental. At the time, investigator William Burge said Saunders\u2019s cause of death was ruled accidental, because Saunders\u2019 father told authorities he caught him playing with the handgun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUITMAN \u2014 A man has been arrested in Wood County in connection with his son\u2019s death.
