A man is hospitalized after Las Vegas police said he was shot about three times by his son Tuesday night near the Hard Rock Hotel.

Officers were called just after 5:30 p.m. to the Red Roof Inn, 4350 Paradise Road, on the northeast corner of Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue, where they found a man suffering from at least one gunshot wound, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Michael Mauntel said.

The father and son were arguing before the son shot his father three times, Mauntel said.

The father was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive, Mauntel said just before 7 p.m.

Police have the son in custody, he said.
