COLUMBIA, Ky. (WSMV) — A father is accused of fatally shooting his adult son after the two reportedly got into an argument at a home in Kentucky on Tuesday afternoon.

Kentucky State Police said troopers from Post 15 responded to a shooting call at a residence on KY 55 South around 3 p.m. Tuesday.

When troopers arrived, they found 33-year-old Jordan Hadley suffering from a serious gunshot wound. He was taken to TJ Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow, where the Adair County coroner pronounced him dead.

Investigators determined the shooting resulted from a “heated altercation” between Jordan Hadley and his father, 56-year-old Phillip Hadley. Police said Phillip Hadley pulled a handgun from his waistband during the argument and fired, striking his son.

Phillip Hadley was arrested and booked into the Adair County Detention Center on a murder charge.
