Logansport, Indiana, Pennsylvania Indiana Evening Gazette March 11, 1947 page 10 I found this article in NewspaperArchives. DAD KILLED, BOY, 13, FREED Deputy Sheriff Eugene Burkett said Donald Gene Sisson, 13, was released without charges after shooting and killing his father as the man chased the boy's mother with a shotgun. Burkett and State Trooper, Bernard Leavitt said the mother and her three children told them the father, John R. Sisson, 52, had been drinking since Thursday and became frenzied yesterday. The officers said Sisson was committed to the state hospital for the insane here last November 15, but was paroled to his wife two months ago. Burkett and Leavitt said the family gave this account of the incident. Sisson, after arguing with his wife about entertaining a son, Raymond, at dinner, handed her a 16-gauge shotgun, saying, "before night one of us will be dead and I'm giving you the first shot." After Mrs. Sisson set the gun in the corner, Sisson pushed aside two of the children, Glen Harry 11, and Jack Richard 5, and began fighting with her. Donald ran to the barn and got his .22-calibre rifle and fired four shots at his father as the father seized the shotgun and aimed it at Mrs. Sisson, who ran down the lane. The boy's first two shots missed, but the third hit Sisson's leg and the fourth struck him in the forehead. Donald said he shouted at his father before each shot, warning him not to shoot his mother.
