DARBY, Pa. (AP) - Police say a pastor from suburban Philadelphia fatally shot his son during a family gathering on Christmas Day.
Police say Kirk Caldwell killed his 21-year-old son during a domestic dispute while more than a dozen people were at their Darby home on Friday.
Darby Police Chief Robert Smythe says the son, Jordan Caldwell, was involved in a violent confrontation with a woman at the house. Smythe says the elder Caldwell intervened and fired a gun, hitting his son in the chest.
Kirk Caldwell had not been charged as of Friday evening. There was no answer Saturday at the Darby Borough Police Department. A woman who answered the phone Saturday at Caldwell's home declined to comment.
Caldwell is a 44-year-old pastor at End Times Harvest Mission for Christ in Philadelphia.
