The home where John F. Gustites allegedly shot his son


John F. Gustites, 67, is being charged with murdering his son, John A. Gustites, 42, over a cat.

This exercise in stupidity worked itself out on Saturday in East Union Township, PA.  The two men began to argue in some unspecified fashion over a cat.  The son grabbed a screw driver and "aimed" it at his father.  The father went to his bedroom, retrieved his .357 magnum, returned to his sons room and shot him in the face.  He then went downstairs and watched religious videos for about 12 hours until he called the cops came to arrest him.

The details of this story change depending on which news report you read.  Not exactly unexpected.  

He is currently a guest of Schuykill County pending $250,000 bail.
