THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
A South Side man fatally shot his father Monday after the father "went to jump on" him during a fight in the family home, according to a 911 call to police.
In a weary, subdued voice, Janice Carson detailed in the tape-recorded call the moments that led up to the killing of Steven J. Carson about 3:40 p.m. inside her home at 1348 Oakwood Ave.
Steven Carson, 51, no longer lived there, Janice Carson said, but she didn't explain why he was in the house.
"My ex-husband came in and went to jump on my son, and my son has shot his father," she told the call-taker.
Homicide detectives have not charged the son, identified in various police and court documents as Derick W. Carson, 23. They said the younger Carson might have acted in self-defense, and the case will be presented to a grand jury.
A woman who answered the front door of the home yesterday politely declined to comment, calling the shooting a devastating family tragedy.
In 2000, Steven Carson was charged with aggravated menacing and domestic violence, according to Franklin County Municipal Court records. Arrest documents accused him of threatening to kill Janice Carson, and he ultimately was given a 180-day suspended jail sentence and placed on probation for two years. More here:

Ha -- I love it when someone takes the trouble to inflict themselves on others in their own home and then dies a grisly death as a result. You hear me? I LOVE IT.
