Nicholas Marquis Stull is facing murder charges in the death of his father, 57-year-old Michael Wayne Stull, who was apparently visiting from Georgia, according to Montgomery County police.
Officers were called shortly before 8:30 p.m. Saturday to the home on Mount Olney Lane where the younger Stull lives with his grandparents.
When they arrived, they were told there was a shooting victim inside the house and the suspect might also be in the house and was believed to be armed. A SWAT team was called. They entered the house and took Nicholas Stull into custody. Police said he had a non-life-threatening, self-inflicted gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital.
