A man has died after being shot last week, allegedly by his 13-year-old son, in front of a Louisiana school.
Nola.com reports that the man, whose identity has not been disclosed, died several days after the shooting at Tangipahoa Alternative School in Hammond.
The father and son were in a car in the school's drop-off line Tuesday morning and began to quarrel when the boy refused to go into the building. The man spoke to a school resource officer and a Hammond police lieutenant and agreed to take his son back home.
But as the car pulled away a gunshot was heard inside the vehicle, which veered into a nearby home.
Police say the boy then approached the school with a handgun and was disarmed by the school resource officer. Another younger boy was in the back seat of the car at the time of the shooting but was unharmed.
The boy was initially being held on charges of attempted second-degree murder. Hammond police say those charges are expected to be upgraded to second-degree murder.
