John Amos’ son Kelly C. “K.C.” Amos is facing legal trouble after allegedly making threats against his sister Shannon.
The filing states that Shannon believed “the immediacy of the threat and the likelihood that it would be carried out” after K.C. allegedly sent her text messages with photos of firearms and gang affiliations. The alleged threat made Shannon “fear for her life.”
Shannon claimed that K.C. sent her “terroristic threats” which included a video of him shooting a handgun and showed authorities text messages which read, “gonna sleep much better tonight big sis” attached to the photo of the handgun. Another photo of a rifle was captioned, “that big one can clean a turkey out from 3 football fields away,” according to the filing.

In the complaint, she alleged that K.C. has bipolar disorder and she “fears that he may carry out threats from messages sent through text and is in fear for her life.”
Shannon also claimed to police that K.C. believed that she had hired a person to kill him and he was retaliating because he thought his life was in danger, per the filing.
PEOPLE has reached out to reps for John and Shannon. At this time, it is unclear if K.C. has retained legal representation.
“She would be the primary suspect — if you would,” John said, in a video filmed from his hospital bed as he made a phone call. “I don’t know if that’s the right term to use or not. But she’s the one that I would attribute my elderly abuse to. It’s definitely a case of elderly abuse.”
K.C.’s video cut off before John could go into further detail. “There are many different aspects to this situation. It’s interesting how many people have made a conclusion while we are still discovering new elements every single day. 🤷🏾♂️,” K.C. captioned the clip, which was posted to bothTikTokandInstagram.

John’s claim came after news broke that Shannon filed a complaint alleging that her father was “the victim of elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation.”
In a statement to PEOPLE at the time, John addressed the video K.C. shared and told his fans that he was “not in the distressed condition as described in the GoFundMe page,” and was “doing well.”

She went on to claim that “his home had been violated, striped of anything valuable,” and that she was “collaborating with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and local authorities, determined to bring the perpetrators to justice.”

John has since disputed his daughter’s claims, telling PEOPLE in a statement that “I am not in ICU, nor was I ever fighting for my life.”
“To all of my fans, I want you to know that I am doing well.” he said. “First, I want the GoFundMe campaign about me to stop immediately and the funds subsequently returned to those who made donations. My son and I will reveal more information at the appropriate time.”
