PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police have arrested a man after they say he shot his adult son during an argument Monday afternoon.
The incident occurred just after 6:30 p.m. on the 600 block of North 65th Street.

The father was detained and police say he informed them that he was involved in an argument with his wife and 24-year-old son inside their home. During the argument he allegedly shot his son in the leg, claiming he did so because he believed his son had a firearm in his fanny pack.
