GIBSONTON - A father recovering from recent surgery shot his adult son Saturday night after their argument over money turned physical, Hillsborough County sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

At 7 p.m., Freddy Peddy III, 55, fired a handgun once at his son, Freddy Peddy IV, 30, Carter said. The younger Peddy was visiting his parent’s home at 10926 Sonora Dr.

Peddy IV, of 3236 10th St. North, St Petersburg, was rushed to Brandon Community Hospital, where he died from the injury to his upper torso.

No charges have been filed.
