Police in west central Missouri said they are investigating after a 70-year-old man fatally shot a 16-year-old boy late Sunday night.
Thomas Ribby was arrested on a first-degree murder charge and booked into the jail early Monday, according to information from the Clinton Missouri Police Department and the Henry County Sheriff's Office.
According to a press release posted on the police department's Facebook page, officers responded at 11:30 p.m. to investigate a shooting in the 400 Block of North Price Lane. The scene is in Henry County about 100 miles southwest of the state's capital of Jefferson City.

An apparent gunshot wound to the chest
Arriving officers located a 16-year-old Clinton boy of suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the chest, according to the release. At the scene, police said, they took Ribby, also of Clinton, into custody.
The teenger was transported a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead, police said.
Police did not say how the pair knew one another or release other information in the case including circumstances surrounding the shooting.
But according to multiple posts on the department's Facebook page, it appears the two were related.
