PA Cop Shoots and Kills His Son

 Philly.com reports on another perfect family which everyone agrees
Around 3 p.m., authorities say, Eric Schmitz shot and killed his youngest child in the two-story Towamencin house where Stephen had lived all his life.  Stephen, who struggled with mental-health issues, apparently had attacked his father with a fixed-blade hunting knife soon after getting home from school, authorities said.
I find it hard to believe there was no other way than to shoot the kid to death. What do you think?
