Henrico County, Virginia

From the July 25, 2006 Richmond Times-Dispatch:
A Henrico County man shot his son in the leg inside their home yesterday after the son demanded money and forced his way inside the father's bedroom, police said.

The 30-year-old son was taken to VCU Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

The shooting occurred about 1:45 a.m. at the family's home in the 4900 block of Jones Road, off Springfield Road.

The son "started banging on a locked bedroom door," said Henrico police spokesman Sgt. Doug Parker. During that time he was demanding money, police said, and eventually broke in the door.

Parker said the father retrieved a weapon and shot his son in the leg.

The son, whose name was not released, was arrested on outstanding grand-larceny warrants unrelated to yesterday's disturbance, Parker said.

The father has not been charged in the shooting.
Want to make any bets that the son has a drug problem?
