For one man in Virginia, the debate landed him behind bars after authorities said he shot three people.

WSET-TV reported police in Bedford County Virginia arrested 56-year-old Mark Edwin Turner on charges of felony malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a felon.

The station reported that Turner, his girlfriend, his girlfriend’s son and her son’s girlfriend were having dinner on April 20 when the debate over whether Ford or Chevy were the better manufacturer.

"The allegation is that there was alcohol involved and a dispute began against Logan Bailey, the son of the girlfriend, and Mr. Turner about what type of vehicle is best. Chevy vs. Ford," Bedford County Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance said.

Nance said the group eventually moved into the front yard where the argument continued.

At some point, Turner allegedly pulled out a knife and his girlfriend tried to break the two up when the confrontation began to escalate.

"The evidence would be that Mr. Turner got so upset that he brandished a knife, that Ms. Bailey got between Mr. Turner, and Ms. Bailey and was actually struck with the knife causing about a 6-inch injury," Nance said.

The incident then continued after Nance said Turner went back inside the home, only to return with a gun. Turner allegedly fired the weapon, striking his girlfriend five times in the leg, and shooting her son once in the arm. The son’s girlfriend was also injured when the bullets ricocheted. All three suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

When police arrived, Turner barricaded himself inside the home. He allegedly became more agitated with officers and was taken into custody after police shot him with a bean bag round.

Turner is being held in custody after he was denied bond at his court appearance Monday.
