King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has died aged 59 after a shooting in Texas, police have confirmed.

Joss was the voice of John Redcorn for seasons two through 13 of the popular animated series. He had reportedly recorded bits for the show’s reboot, which recently began production for Hulu and is slated to premiere in August.

The actor was reportedly shot multiple times over the weekend after a disagreement with a neighbor, according to TMZ. San Antonio police responded to a home after reports of shots fired and found Joss near the road with gunshot wounds, according to Variety.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

      At this point it’s safe to assume every homophobe is armed and react accordingly.

        But then they’ll just make defending yourself against armed violent and threatening homophobes a hate crime.

          Frankly I don’t think it would matter at that point since they’ll hate us for no reason no matter how well we behave. Altho, I may or may not have been a little too angry when I made that comment, because after all guns aren’t the only means of defense and I don’t think I want people to have the guilt of killing someone over them, even if it was in self-defense.
