Hudson Victim -- Murdered by His Own Gun?

Jason HudsonOne of the victims in the Hudson murder case could have been shot to death by his own weapon.

Jennifer Hudson's brother Jason owned a gun that may have been identical to the murder weapon, according to law enforcement sources and neighbors who spoke with the Chicago Tribune.

According to those sources, Jason said the gun had been stolen from the family home -- the crime scene -- a few months ago.

Law enforcement sources are now investigating whether the gun used in the Hudson triple murders once belonged to Jason Hudson.

Jason's brother-in-law, William Balfour is the suspect in the case.

137. Ok, here is what I've heard. Jason wasn't supposed to be home and niether was Julia. I heard it was a hit on the mother b/c of Jason's AND Julia's dealings in the world of drugs. Apparently, when Jason's friends knocked on the door to the home of Ms. Donnerson (she knowing the assailants) she let them in. One killed her and the other went to the back room to kill Jason. They took the nephew and not knowing what to do with the nephew, they figured they'd kill him so they couldn't be identified.

I don't believe the ex-husband is the only suspect. I believe there is more than one and possible more than two. We do know that Julia has not led a squeeky clean life and I do believe she knows who did this. I don't think she's mourning too hard, though. I think the police are just waiting to get all this information together to make the necessary arrests and to announce it to the public.

Julia will be in jail with her ex...well, maybe not together, but they'll will be serving time together. Check out her MY SPACE page..."To my fans"...WHAT fans does SHE have?

139. If you read the real news, you would know that the Chicago PD has traced the gun back to it's original owner in Michigan who reported it stolen some time ago. They are still trying to piece together, how the gun ended up in Chicago.

143. You Know all of this is really SAD, I the story is going twenty different ways and it's rediculas, what's even worse is that this Baby was killed, and NO ONE IS SAYING ANYTHING, How did so many people actually hear all of these gunshots at such a famous and well loved Families house and No one decided to be noisey, Neighbors knew them all, and also knew that they were apart of a gang so chances are everyone knows what happened except Juilian.
I totally agree that How ever this went down it was to get money out of Jennifer, I actually thaught about Ponk myself, his myspace page has the whole family on it except Jen which is kind of strange. I send prayers to Jen, and feel so bad for her, because she has to beware there is a snake around somewhere, Dispite all of our opinions I really hope for her sake that her sister really didn't have anything to do with it. But if so, what about the Family history, and Julia being the only person left with her, would she tell if it were her Sister, And last but not least ,is it me or does half of this just not make sense,
1.An Organization opened for children of domestic situations 2-3 days after the murders, During Mourning (WEIRD).
(mAYBE THAT HELPED HER KEEP HER MIND OF OFF IT).
2. On a day that school is out Julia's Driving a school bus.
3.Weired twist, Drug dealers,GangBanger's and now shot with your own Gun.(wow)
4.EveryBodies myspace page is crazy except Jennifers.

5.Why is everything so hushed in such a tradgical Murder Case? Will this be paid to stay a secret (I mean think about it this Girl right now is like she's the best thing poppin, Even the President is with her, I mean personally,(get your minds out of the Gutter).
6.Emtions, I can't say what you would feel, I guess the best way to handle it is to try and stay strong, As for Julia I think everyone is misleading on what emotions should look like, However I also know that I couldn't imagine the pain of loosing your child let alone your whole Family, I pray that she is innocent for Jennifer's sake and her own, This is one SIN i PERSONALLY WOULD WANT NO PARTS OF.
PLEASE FIND THE kILLERS fAST TO Protect Jennifer the community, And bring Justice to all of the Family and friends across the world Mourning over this, I wasn't a fan before but when I heard the news I was devistated, Now I love Jen, I think she's a beautiful young lady and now a part of my family, she has made history as a young Black woman,She will be Fine God didn't bring her this far to leave her. I would like to see Justice served CORRECTLY.
To the people responsible give up now, Once you think youv'e gotten away with it, It's over your world will fall down history will repeat itself until you are Revealed.
