Man admits shooting baby

A MAN has admitted shooting dead his three-month-old son in front of a US state trooper.

Adam Theall, 21, of Rome, New York, wept and had to sit down several times yesterday as he admitted killing his baby son Eithen in June.

Theall told a judge he had been partying with a friend the night before and was high on drugs when he grabbed a loaded shotgun from his mother’s home and confronted police who were responding to a domestic disturbance report.
