Shooting leaves son dead, father wounded in NE Philadelphia


I read the article "Shooting leaves son dead, father wounded in NE Philadelphia" by Morgan Zalot. This article was about how the police are investigating a shooting that left a son dead and the father wounded. An argument was the reason for the killings. The 26-year-old son and the 50-years-old father were in Frankford when his killing took place.  The killing happened on 1200 block of Adam Street. The shooting took place right in front of the son's house. The older man was shot once in his left arm. The son was shot three times. Both the father and the son were taken to Temple University Hospital. The son Edwin Pagan died at 11:30 p.m. The father was an off duty corrections officer, and his wounds were more minor than the sons and he was treated and let out of the hospital. The investigators said the father was drunk when they came. Witnesses said they saw the father shooting in the air with a gun, but unfortunately the witnesses didn't see or know who shot the two men.

I believe that even though I don't know what Edwin did that pissed his dad off so much I feel like it didn't have to reach this point. I think the police need to investigate more because it doesn't have any detail about what really happened. The story is missing a lot of information that needs to be found out. I hope when the detectives investigate the case they can find out more facts about what happened the day of the shooting and prior to that. I think that the father was wrong ether way you out it, no one deserve to make another persons life, that’s just wrong!
