Chesapeake , Lawrence County , Ohio

We now know the names of the people involved in a deadly shooting in Lawrence County, Ohio late on Friday night.

According to a release from the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office, 20-year old Christopher Radulic and his father, 55-year old Joseph Radulic got into an argument at their home in the 8300 block of County Road 15 in Chesapeake, Ohio.

That's when Christopher began breaking windows out of that home, then went to a vehicle parked in the driveway, broke out another window and grabbed a 32 caliber handgun from inside.

Christopher then went back to the home and fired shots through the broken window. Two of those shots hit Joseph - one in the upper thigh and the other in the upper torso. Christopher then shot himself in the head.

Both men were taken to Cabell Huntington Hospital. Christopher Radulic was pronounced dead several hours later. Joseph Radulic is expected to be okay.
