Deputies: Chattanooga lawyer and son dead after shooting
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – A Chattanooga attorney and his son are dead in what the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is calling a domestic incident.
Deputies tell local media that 82-year-old retired attorney Glenn Copeland was shot by his son Steven Copeland on Sunday at his Chattanooga home. Glenn Copeland was taken to Erlanger Hospital where he died.
Shortly after the shooting authorities found Steven Copeland dead of a gunshot wound at a house nearby. He was due in court this week on driving and DUI charges following an arrest earlier this year.
Authorities say there are no more suspects and that the public isn’t in danger.
