SEATTLE — Police say a 78-year-old Renton man fatally shot and killed his grandson in what police believe was an act of self-defense.
The Seattle Times reports police were called to a Renton home Saturday night, where a 26-year-old man had reportedly assaulted his mother, said Renton police Cmdr. Dave Leibman.
Leibman says the grandfather reported that after witnessing the assault on his daughter, he got his gun in order to protect her and shot his grandson, who died at the scene.
Leibman says the grandfather then put his gun away and went outside to wait for officers.
