Man fatally shoots his father, then himself in Brooklyn Center

A man shot and killed his father, then fatally shot himself early Monday in their Brooklyn Center home, authorities said.

The shooter's mother suffered a bullet wound in her arm but was not an intended target during the domestic dispute, which happened about 1 a.m. in the 1300 block of 72nd Av. N., according to police.

The woman, who was no longer married to the father, is recovering, police added.

Other people were in the home at the time of the shooting, according to police.

Authorities have yet to identify any of those involved and have not provided details about what led to the violence.
