On October 10th, just after 8:00pm, deputies were dispatched to a shooting in Parkland for a 41-year-old son who shot his 63-year-old father. The suspect fled to a bedroom and barricaded himself inside. Deputies were able to get the victim outside and administered life saving measures. Sadly, the victim succumbed to his wounds.
After about 20 minutes of negotiating with the suspect, the son came out of the bedroom and was taken into custody. There does appear to be a mental health component for the suspect and detectives are investigating what led up to the incident.
