A Dallas man who police say ended a day of drinking by forcing his 6-year-old son to shoot him in the head died of his injuries, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
Ronald Moore, 42, was struck in the head by a bullet Easter Sunday when he ordered the boy to shoot him with a .22-caliber pistol, Dallas police said. Relatives told police Moore had become despondent and aggressive after drinking vodka for most of the day.
The boy refused until Moore forced the gun into his hand and yelled at him, the police said. The boy will not face charges.
