BROKEN ARROW — A man was fatally shot by his son during a fight in a Broken Arrow home Friday evening, police said.

Sgt. Scott Lillard, a detective with the Broken Arrow Police Department, issued a news release late Friday, saying the son had called the police about 5:25 p.m. and said he had just shot his father inside a house in the 7500 block of South Maple Avenue.

When officers arrived, the son, who lives in the house, told them he and his father had been arguing and that his father “pulled out a knife and the son grabbed a rifle,” Lillard said in the news release.

The son shot his father in the hip and then called 911, Lillard said. A neighbor who had heard the gunshot also called 911, he said.

Medics “attempted life-saving rescue attempts with the father, but he was deceased,” the news release says.

Jacob Krafft, 34, was arrested and taken to the Broken Arrow City Jail. He was booked into the Tulsa Jail about 3 a.m., according to online jail records.

He is being held there without bond on a complaint of first-degree murder.

The residence is between Aspen Avenue (145th East Avenue) and Elm Place (161st East Avenue) and between Tucson (121st) and Jasper (131st) streets.
