A West Mobile man is in stable condition after being shot by his own mother early Thursday morning.

Perry "Steven" Fields' mother Sherry Pierce tells us that he was temporarily staying with her on Brandy Lane South.

Pierce admits that they had all been up late Wednesday night drinking and her son is not a "happy drunk." She also believes that Fields suffers from a mental condition.

Pierce says just before 5am, Fields got mad and kicked down her bedroom door. She believed she had no other choice but to pick up a gun and start shooting.

Tasha Fields has been staying with her husband since the shooting. She says her husband doesn't have mental problems and didn't attack his mom. "I don't know if they were trying to cover their tracks or what you know. Steven kept saying they come at me and he has no mental problems. He's never been diagnosed with anything."

Fields is now in stable condition at USA Medical Center after being shot multiple times. A grand jury will decide if his mother will face any charges for the shooting.

After a while Steven finally got Sherry so what com down and talked her into going bed so he helped his mom to bed and Steven got in the bed with his 78yrs old grandfather. It was about 4 something in the morning his grand paw wanted something to drink so they where in the kitchen fixing something to drink.Sherry started acting unreal"out of her mind for real. we thought she was a sleep. We heard one gun shot. We thought she done killed her self so Steven kicks the down down and she shot him five time. after that she was still acting crazy trying to shot her daddy but there was no more bullets in the gun. BUT THAT IS BASICLY THE STORY.
IT IS SAD TO SEE A FAMILY THAT WAS SO CLOSE BE DESTORED OF HER DRINKING AND LOSING HER MIND.
FROM THIS HAPPENING TO MY FAMILY PLEASE DONOT TRY TO HELP ANYONE IN A UNSTABLE MIND CALL THE POLICE TO GET HELP. SHERRY DESTROYED ALOT OF THINGS WHEN SHE DONE THIS. MY BABIES ALMOST DIDNOT HAVE A DADDY.AND WOULDNOT HAVE MY LOVING HUSBAND. THANK YOU GOD I DO

I’m going to make it short and simply as possible.

This is what happened that night . we got to her house and sherry was on the front porch sitting in one of the chairs.Sherry “his mother” came at him it was when we came to her house,after she wanted Steven to come their so she could have someone to talk to about her problems .Steven sat down in the other chair.sherry was out of her mind. she started throwing LIT cigs. at my husband"Steven"slapping,kicking and using very obscene language all he"Steven"was trying to do is comfort his mother “Sherry”  she was drinking and in a very unstable state of mind. sherry was talking about killing her husband and then killing her daddy.“her exact words was i am going to kill Wayne “her husband”, kill Steven"HER SON” and put my poor old daddy out of his misery.

KSJD,

i will tell you the rest and bye the way for you all that wants to be rude, and un GODLY me and my husband is getting ower house payment payed,lights and everything with your tax dollars and my wonderful husband that tried to help his drunk mother payed off. she is charged with what she done!

I certainly hope I did strike a nerve. I hope these people can get the help they need but in such a way that people are willing to help. Ms. Fields. I didn’t mean this as a personal attack on you. I am sure you are concerned for the wellbeing of your family and I sincerely hope everything works out for all of you.

Amen Kris! I couldn’t have said it better myself!

You know there are “two sides to every story” and sometimes more depending on how many people were involved, who was drinking, on drugs, and mentally disturbed.  Then when these same folks are sober, there again are many many more different stories.  The fact of the matter is, WKRG gives us only one side and we have a right to comment on that side.  If you don’t like it, you have the right to not read it and to not comment on it.

KSJD MS. Fields Says: Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 8:36 pm THAT IS MY HUSBAND. HIS MOTHER SHOT HIM. SHE HAD BEEN UP ALL NIGHT DRINKING AND FIRED A GUN IN THE HOUSE MY HUSBAND THOUHT THAT HIS MOTHER SHOT HER SELF .SO HE KICKED THE DOOR DOWN AND HE SHOT HIM FIVE TIMES IN THE NECK AND IN THE STOMACH AREA!!! SHE NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL FOR LIFE. I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SHOT MY KIDS OR ANYONE FOR NO REASON.. CALL THE POLICE IF SOME THING HAPPENS THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL (posted on another article) then she tells WKRG that “I don’t know if they were trying to cover their tracks or what you know. Steven kept saying they come at me and he has no mental problems. He’s never been diagnosed with anything.”  You said that his mother is crazy, and that crazy doesn’t just go away, well mental conditions have been known to be hereditary so the fact that he hasnt been diagnosed really doesnt matter does it. Something is off about the whole story, was SHE drinking all night or were the ALL drinking?

you know guys there is always two sides to a story and for you to believe and base your opinions only on what is reported in the story is wrong.  i know they did not state the other side of the story but you do not know what happened inside that house and why he did what he did and why she did what she did.  i can honestly say that from having met his mother years ago she was crtazy then and crazy dont go away just like that.  so dont judge them until you know the whole story.  i hope they get the help they need to pay their bills and i hope it is your tax dollars doing it.
