A father shot and killed his 22-year-old son after an unusual argument on Sunday. The situation that provoked the shooting? They were arguing over who would walk the dog.
Police on Chicago’s Far South Side said the argument resulted in a shootout at about 8:20 a.m. When authorities arrived, they found that the father and son, ages 43 and 22, had shot each other after a “verbal altercation.”
