Upon arrival, officers learned that a domestic battery had occurred between a 68 year-old father and 40 year-old son, and that the father shot the son during the argument. The son was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries, which do not appear to be life threatening. Champaign Police Investigations responded to this incident and conducted several interviews.  At this point in the investigation indications are that the shooting may have resulted from the  father defending himself, and no arrests have been made.
