69 year old Larry Johnson is accused of shooting his 40 year old son Mitchell Johnson to death.   Lowndes County deputies answered a call Tuesday morning to a home on River Lane where the younger Johnson was found dead and his father taken into custody.  Investigators say it looks like the shooting took place several hours before 9-1-1 was called.   During that call, Larry Johnson told dispatchers he had shot his son and that he thought his son was dead.
