A North Carolina dad was allegedly shot dead by his 14-year-old stepson while trying to break up a fight between the young teen and his daughter, according to local reports. Gary Tharrington, 34, was shot at least five times inside a Durham apartment Monday afternoon after stepping in to stop the heated clash that erupted over a shirt, devastated family members told WNCN. The teen then jumped out of a window and bolted from the scene, while his stepfather was rushed to a local hospital and pronounced dead.
