WILDERVILLE, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State Police say a man was shot and killed during an argument with his father in southern Oregon.
Police say the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home at about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday west of Grants Pass for a report of shots fired.
Police say deputies found 41-year-old Ivan J. Nutting Jr. dead inside the residence with gunshot wounds.
Police say initial investigation indicates Nutting argued and had a physical altercation with his father Ivan Nutting Sr., who wrestled a rifle away from his son and shots were fired.
KDRV-TV reports court records indicate that Nutting Jr. had a long criminal record and had been a convicted sex offender since 2003. In August, Nutting Jr. was arrested for failure to register his address as a sex offender.
Police are still investigating.
