Father Shot by Teen in School Car Line After Argument Has Died

Police say charges against the 13-year-old are expected to be upgraded after his father died from injuries in the school drop-off shooting.

  • A father allegedly shot by his 13-year-old son in a Hammond school car line on Tuesday, April 14, has died from his injuries, the Hammond Police Department announced Saturday.
  • The incident followed an argument about attending class at Tangipahoa Alternative School, which prompted the father to decide to drive his son home after the boy refused to enter the building.
  • Police reported a 5-year-old in the backseat remained unharmed when the vehicle crashed into a nearby home, after which the teen exited the car and moved toward the school.
  • Authorities intend to upgrade charges against the suspect from attempted second-degree murder to second-degree murder, pending an official indictment by a Tangipahoa Parish grand jury.
  • Hammond Police Lieutenant Bergeron credited the school resource officer's intervention with preventing further tragedy, as the investigation continues and the suspect remains at the Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center.
