MCCANDLESS — A man was jailed today on charges he fatally shot his father at their home in an upscale suburb of Pittsburgh.

Forty-one-year-old Eric Huesmann is in Allegheny County Jail without bond on a charge of criminal homicide. He was arraigned this morning and faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 14 on the charge of killing 63-year-old Emil Huesmann.

County police are not discussing a motive. They say paramedics were called to the home in McCandless before 3 p.m. Tuesday and found Emil Huesmann dead.

Police did not immediately say how they came to charge his son.

While in custody, Eric Huesmann only grinned when asked if he shot his father. Asked if he could comment on what happened in the home, he said, "I guess not."
