George Pickering II took gun and went to Houston's Tomball Regional Medical Center to spend a few more hours with his son George III Pickering's 'brain dead' son had suffered a huge stroke earlier in the month Doctors and father's family were 'terminally weaning' son off life support Pickering forced his way into son's room and standoff with police ensued When son squeezed his hand during the standoff, Pickering surrendered He was arrested but his son recovered a few weeks later and is doing well George Pickering II has now been released from jail

A father took a gun into hospital to stop doctors taking his son off life support - and during the three-hour stand-off the young man squeezed his hand. The sign that he wasn't brain dead meant he was kept alive - and he is now recovering and doing well.

His father, 59-year-old George Pickering II, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after marching into Tomball Regional Medical Center in Texas with a gun.

His 27-year-old son, George III, had been declared brain dead after suffering a massive stroke in January.

After doctors declared there was no more hope for him, they ordered a 'terminal wean' - whereby life support is slowly withdrawn to end a life.

Pickering's ex-wife and other son had agreed to the move, and the young man had already been placed on an organ donation register.

But Pickering Sr told KPRC: 'They were moving too fast. The hospital, the nurses, the doctors. I knew if I had three or four hours that night that I would know whether George was brain-dead.'

This is England where the elderly are afraid to go to the NHS hospitals.
