Dietz is accused of shooting his father, 54-year-old Doug Dietz.
According to court documents, the shooting happened on Jan. 13 at the family’s home in Duncannon. Police say Clayton retrieved a gun from a safe while searching for a Nintendo Switch that had been taken away from him.
During an interview with troopers, Clayton’s mother said he told her, “I killed my dad. I hate myself.”
An affidavit also explained Clayton had a “large contusion” above his left eye and had a small cut near the middle of his lower lip.
On the day of the shooting, authorities asked Clayton what he believed would occur when he fired the revolver. He allegedly claimed he was mad and didn’t consider what would happen.
While investigators spoke with Clayton and his mother in the kitchen, a trooper also claimed to have heard Clayton say, “I killed Daddy.”
