Ohio Man Charged With Fatally Shooting Adult Son in Domestic Violence Attack

An Ohio man has been charged with the domestic violence murder of his adult son on Wednesday.

Olmsted Township police said the man, 63-year-old Donald Varga, called 911 to say he’d shot his 29-year-old son in the chest after he attacked him with a baseball bat.

Responding officers met Varga outside the home and then found the son, Corey Varga, inside. Paramedics arrived an attempted lifesaving measures before taking him to a hospital, where he died.

On Friday, police announced they were charging the elder Varga with domestic violence and murder “after a thorough investigation, interviews, and reviewing all the evidence involved.”

Varga will appear in court later Friday morning.

Investigators did not say if they found a baseball bat on the scene.
