"It's something out of a Hollywood script,"

Exactly what I was thinking.

Man, I would probably kill myself if I found out I killed my own son.

Don't know what's to be done about gun laws. This is a complicated one though, and no person/object can take the full blame.

As a father, I just don't see what's funny about this.

This will absolutely ruin the life of the father.. I don't even know what I would do.

The article said it's possible it was a prank gone wrong. I think that's what it is too.

It says the boy went at his dad with a "shiny weapon" but they don't want to reveal what it was.

The boy is described as easy going and doesn't sound like he was a bad kid. If i'm not mistaken[I just skimmed through it], he was "Burglarizing" his sister's house? Sounds like a prank to me. That sucks, the family themselves know him more than anyone, and most likely know it was just a prank gone wrong. That really sucks. Killing your own son while he was playing around, but it wasn't the dad's fault though. He did what anyone else would have done.
