MESA, Ariz. – Police says a 21-year-old Arizona man fatally shot his father then turned the gun on himself after they argued about the son doing the dishes.
Mesa police found Aaron Farinacci (fehr-ihn-AH'-chee) blocks from his parent's house with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was in critical condition Tuesday.
