Philadelphia pastor shoots son to death during Christmas dispute

DARBY,Pa.--- A family gathering turned deadly when a Philadelphia pastor shot his son to death during a domestic dispute Christmas Day.
Darby Borough police say it all started with a violent confrontation between Jordan Caldwell, 21, and a female at the pastor's home on Ridge Avenue.
Around 1:30 p.m. Jordan's father Rev. Kirk Caldwell interceded by shooting his son in the chest, killing him.
"I characterize this whole thing as a domestic situation, it was Christmas and the family was home when an altercation happened between him and the girlfriend," said Darby Borough Police Chief Robert Smythe. "We're in the process of picking apart exactly what happened."
The 44-year-old pastor at End Times Harvest Mission in North Philadelphia has been arrested and taken into custody.
Delaware County officials were still debating last night what charges to file.
The weapon used in the altercation was legally registered to Caldwell.
In July, after a 17-year-old was killed in the borough, Kirk Caldwell attended a vigil and said, according to the Delaware County Daily Times, "Retaliation is never the answer. Retaliation is only going to make it worse."

2. Sounds like inspiration for a new Christmas song.

Sung to the tune of Home for the Holidays.

"Lets Kill Our Son on Christmas Day"

Lets kill our son on Christmas day
No matter how far away you roam,
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gun
For the holidays you're killing your son

I met a man who lives in Tennessee,
He was heading for North Philadelphia
with a shiny pump shot gun
From Pennsylvania, folks are traveling
Down to Dixie's sunny shore,
From Atlantic to Pacific,
Gee, the killing is terrific.

Lets kill our son on Christmas day
No matter how far away you roam,
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays you're killing your son

Take a bus, take a train
Go and hop an aeroplane
Put the wife and kiddies in the family car
For the pleasure that you bring
When you hear that gun shot ring
No trip could be too far

After firing the first gunshot of his life on Christmas Day into his son's chest, pastor Kirk Caldwell dropped to the ground and cradled his 21-year-old child's dying body, according to court documents.

In the moments before the shooting, Caldwell's son, Jordan, had been brandishing a knife and hitting and throwing family members - including his father - around during a Christmas gathering of 15 to 18 people at the Caldwell home in Darby Borough, police and court documents said ...

Caldwell, 43, a plumber and pastor at the End Times Harvest Mission in Philadelphia's West Oak Lane section, was in bed when several of his seven children came into his room and told him that his eldest son, Jordan, had just hit a girl and stole her car, the arrest affidavit said.

They told him the girl had a large bruise on her face and was crying on the front porch of his home, on Ridge Avenue near Main Street in Darby ...
