Monday evening around 4:30 near Deckner and Desoto Avenues, a man shot his son before turning the gun on himself. Police said it appeared to be an attempted murder-suicide in southwest Atlanta.

When officers got there, they found both victims inside a car next to Perkerson Park. Investigators said they found a 6-year-old boy who had been shot in the face. The man was already deceased with a pistol in his hand from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police said he was the boy’s father.

“By all accounts, it appears to be an attempted murder and a suicide,” said Maj. Andrew Senzer with the Atlanta Police Department.
