Son shoots Fairhill man during argument

POSTED: Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 10:07 PM

A 55-year-old man was hospitalized Wednesday night after police say his son shot him twice during an argument.

Police were called to Hutchinson Street near Lehigh Avenue in Fairhill just after 9 p.m. and found the victim bleeding from two gunshot wounds to his abdomen. He was rushed to Temple University Hospital, where he was stabilized and remained late Wednesday night.

Police said the man's 30-year-old son shot him then fled the scene in a brown Mercury. Within an hour of the shooting, they located the Mercury unoccupied on Henry Avenue near Roberts, outside the Abbotsford Homes.

Police were still looking for the man's son late Wednesday. A pool of blood and a shell casing fired from a 9mm handgun marked the scene of the shooting.

    The son was understandably outraged when he learned that the old man's will specified that the manor house, stables, fields, the serfs bound to the land and titles and fiefdoms would all go to his brother, Malik, and he was totally shut out.....except for a 5X5 thatch hut at the edge of the great estate. Can you blame him?

    This father/son team were the odds on favorites to win the sack race at the annual "Father and Son Picnic" held by the AME Church on their block. ( They have trouble getting a dozen to show up anyway, for obvious reasons).....so I guess this entry will be a 'scratch'. Too bad.
