Stepdad shoots 16-year-old stepson, then kills himself; dad's 5-year-old son finds the bodies (Mount Washington, Kentucky)

Stepdad CHRISTOPHER HEIDENREICH, JR. apparently had a history of arguing with his 16-year-old stepson. So instead of dealing with the conflict, Heidenreich shot the teenager in the head and back, then killed himself. The stepson is in "guarded but stable condition." But I'm not sure how Heidenreich's poor 5-year-old son is. It was the little boy who found the bodies--just shows how self-centered Daddy really was.
