Father-Son Fight Spills Outside, Ends With Son's Death in Pennsylvania

State police say a fight between a father and son at their eastern Pennsylvania home has ended with the younger man dead and his father in the hospital.

State Police said troopers were called to scene after Jason Hirschorn, 37, showed up to his father Robert Hirschorn's Oley Township home and began assaulting the 60-year-old dad.

Police said the incident occurred in a residence along Limekiln Road near the Exeter Township border.

Lt. Chris Blugis tells The Reading Eagle that the incident began in the house and ended outside early Tuesday.

Police were still trying to determine what the fight was about. They called Jason Hirschorn's death a homicide and said the brawl left Robert Hirschorn hospitalized.

Police haven't said whether a weapon was involved.
