DETROIT -- A Redford dad is accused of multiple crimes after allegedly shooting his son this Father's Day.

Howard B. Lowry Sr. had an argument with his 16-year-old son that turned physical at the family's home on Mercedes in Redford Township about 5 p.m. Sunday, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

"Lowry's other son, (23-year-old Marcus Ross), intervened when he saw (his father) hitting the 16-year-old," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's office said in a charging statement Tuesday. "It is alleged that the defendant became upset, went to his bedroom and retrieved his shotgun.

"Lowry then went into the living room and shot Ross once in the abdomen while Ross's one-year-old son was standing by him."

Police arrested Lowry. Ross is still receiving treatment for his injuries.

Lowry is charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder; fourth-degree child abuse; assault with intent to murder; being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Lowry is scheduled to be arraigned in Redford Township Wednesday morning.
