LR father named in holiday gunfire
Authorities have identified the father accused of shooting his son on Thanksgiving night as a 67-year-old Little Rock man.
Larry Miller was arrested at a residence in the 4500 block of Grand Avenue shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday, according to an arrest report.
Little Rock police said officers were called to the scene after Miller shot his adult son during an argument, wounding him in the leg.
The son was taken to an area hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to Lt. Michael Ford, a spokesman for the Little Rock Police Department.
On Friday, Miller was being held at Pulaski County jail. Bail had not been set.
Miller faces a first-degree domestic-battery charge. He is to appear in court Dec. 7.
