An Arkansas teen is behind bars after he allegedly shot and killed his father amid an argument that initially didn't involve the man.

Officers were called to a Magnolia Street home on Sunday after a woman reported that “her son had shot his father.”

By the time they arrived, officers found that family members had begun life-saving measures on Adam Meade, 38, but their efforts went to no avail.
