A man in Bedford Twp. could be facing attempted murder charges after allegedly holding a gun to his stepson's head.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says Saturday night, a man and his 42-year-old stepson were arguing inside of their home on Lewis Ave.

Investigators say the 68-year-old suspect pulled out a gun and held it to the head of his stepson.
