A young father fatally shot his three-month-old son in front of police in the US, then was shot and critically wounded by the officers after turning the gun on them, police say.
Adam Theall, 21, was outside a home in upstate New York on Tuesday morning when state troopers arrived after receiving emergency calls that he had threatened to kill the child.
He fired a shotgun at his son, Eithen Theall, then turned it on the three troopers who had arrived at the scene, according to State Police Captain Francis Coots.
