After a son brandished a pistol at his mother and fired a round, his brother was forced to act. After being confronted in the garage, the deranged brother advanced toward his sibling, at which point he was forced to fire in self defense, hitting him several times in the chest. The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition. (actionnewsnow.com, Shasta County, Calif., 4/11/19)
