Teen Shoots Dad, Self


"Leesburg, FL - The Lake County Sheriffs office responded to an attempted murder suicide Friday morning in Leesburg involving a 16 year old who shot his father then himself.

"The incident unfolded when investigators said the son who has been indentified as 16 year old Dylan Wallace got into an argument with his father, David Wallace, over unpaid traffic tickets. The argument escalated and the 16 year old shot his father in the head.

"After shooting his father, the teen then went out into the front yard and shot himself in the mouth.

“`Once our deputies arrived,` Lake County Deputy Sergeant John Herrell said. `The father actually met the deputy at the door. He was up and able to move about.`

"Both victims were airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center and were both listed in stable condition.

"Deputies said Dylan Wallace is a student at Leesburg High School and Friday morning’s incident was his fourth suicide attempt."
