71 year old man shoots son fleeing on riding lawn mower
Apparently, lawn mowers aren't the best getaway vehicles.
A 71-year-old Florida man shot his son during a family argument after the 32-year-old tried to flee from the feud on a riding lawn mower.
Marshall H. Harmon was arrested in Escambia County Friday night.
When the Florida father began arguing with his son, the younger Harmon jumped on a riding lawn mower to escape the verbal fight.
The son took off down a county road, But Harmon got in his pickup truck and chased after him, police said.
Harmon caught up to the lawn mower and fired two shots toward it, police said.
One of the bullets hit the son's neck. He was taken to a hospital but is expected to be OK.
