A father tragically shot his five-month-old son dead but was tackled by a horrified family member before he could shoot himself, according to authorities.
Joshua David Petersen, 21, of American Fork, Utah, was arrested by police shortly after the incident at 1 pm on Friday. Officers said the baby, called Ryker, received a single gunshot to the head. The child was transported by helicopter to hospital but died of his injuries.
Petersen is now in Utah County Jail under investigation of aggravated murder, a first degree felony, and held without bail. According to KSL.com, the man suffered from depression and had previous mental challenges.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
