JACKSON — A 20-year-old Jackson man is accused of gunning down his 49-year-old father and 74-year-old grandmother.

According to Horton, the witness says Liddell and his father were arguing Wednesday night. Horton says the shootings apparently occurred Wednesday night. The bodies were found about 7:40 a.m. Thursday.
