Should I be having a little chat with my plush toys? First Elmo turns out to be gay and now Barney, the big purple dinosaur, tries to murder someone! Okay well, not Barney, but Barney’s son, okay not really Barney’s son, but the son of the creator of Barney! Is that clear?

I’ll let TMZ explain,

So much for the “happy family” … ’cause the son of the woman who created “Barney & Friends” has been arrested for allegedly trying to MURDER a 49-year-old man in Malibu.

27-year-old Patrick Leach — son of Barney creator Sheryl Leach — was arrested in Agoura Hills, CA for allegedly shooting a man in the chest on January 9 … this according to TheAcorn.com.

Cops say they have recovered evidence that connects Patrick to the shooting. Cops say they are still trying to determine the motive.

According to The Acorn, the victim was treated at UCLA and is expected to recover from his wounds.

 
I love you, you love me, BANG! You’re dead.
