(FOX)–A Griswold, Conn., man shot and killed his son Saturday night after the son repeatedly stabbed the man and his wife, the Hartford Courant reported Sunday.

Police said David Gemeasky Jr., 24, entered the bedroom of a home in Griswold, about 50 miles east of Hartford, Conn., around 7:40 p.m. Saturday and began stabbing his father, David Gemeasky Sr. He then attacked his mother, Tamara Brennan, as she tried to run away.

David Gemeasky Sr. was able to get his shotgun and fatally shoot his son despite suffering from serious stab wounds. David Gemeasky Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene.

David Gemeasky Sr. and Brennan were taken to a local hospital. Brennan was treated and released, and David Gemeasky Sr. was in stable condition Sunday, a hospital spokesperson said.

The body of David Gemeasky Jr. was taken to the Office of the Chief State’s medical examiner for an autopsy, and police continue to investigate the incident. David Gemeasky Jr. was arrested in August and charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct after he locked himself inside his parents’ home with powerful rifles and armor-piercing ammunition. He surrendered to police after a lengthy standoff with a SWAT team.
