A Yamba father shot his son before taking his own life in an “absolutely tragic” incident that has shaken the small NSW fishing town, police say.

Police discovered the bodies of a man, 58, and a boy, 15, both with gunshot wounds at a home on Thursday afternoon after a relative called emergency services over concerns for their welfare.
