Sheriff's deputies say an 82-year-old Florida man fatally shot his 50-year-old son during an argument on Christmas night.

Alvarez said Guy Vickery shot Benjamin Vickery in the upper body during an argument. He was taken to South Florida Baptist Hospital, where he died.

Authorities haven't said whether Guy Vickery will be charged.
