An argument between a father and son Sunday resulted in a gunshot wound for the younger man.
Chattanooga police said the fight happened at a house at 1132 Birmingham Highway. Investigators were told the son, Robert Cody Martin, 22, grabbed a pistol from his bedroom and came into the living room threatening to kill his 55-year-old father.
The father, Bobby Martin, also grabbed a pistol. Thinking his son was about to point the pistol at him, he fired first, striking his son in the foot.
Robert Martin received treatment at a local hospital and was booked into the Hamilton County Jail on a charge of domestic aggravated assault, a police news release stated.
A neighbor who asked that her name not be used said she was awakened sometime around 11 a.m. by loud shouting outside her home.
