Cops in Fayetteville, Arkansas, allege that a son murdered his father in a bedroom closet with a shotgun over the weekend even though the suspect called 911 and claimed he had only returned fire and defended himself.
The Fayetteville Police Department said Monday that 29-year-old Robert Dickson called 911 on Sunday afternoon and said that a “dispute” with his father had turned deadly in a residence on North Bernice Drive.
The story from Dickson, cops said, was that the argument of unspecified origins got so heated that both he and his father “produced firearms and a shooting ensued.”
