GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – A Greeneville city police officer has been shot to death and his teenage son charged with his murder.
The Greeneville Sun reported 18-year-old Ethan Alexander Self was charged on Thursday night after an investigation into the fatal shooting of 46-year-old Sgt. Roger Self.
A Greene County Sheriff’s detective made the arrest, charging the Greeneville High School senior with first-degree murder.
