GALENA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the shooting deaths of a father and son at a southeast Kansas home as a murder-suicide.
Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves said in a news release that deputies were called to a rural Galena home at around 3:30 p.m. Sunday for a reported shooting. Deputies found two dead men inside the home.
Groves said the preliminary investigation indicates that 50-year-old Danny Allen Pennock got a firearm while arguing with his dad, 77-year-old Danny Wayne Pennock, and then shot him before killing himself.
Two women who live at the home weren’t hurt during the shooting.
