An ar­gu­ment be­tween two broth­ers over their fa­ther's old age pen­sion end­ed in a shoot­ing in Laven­tille on Fri­day night.

Po­lice said a 46-year-old man con­front­ed his 44-year-old broth­er about spend­ing their fa­ther's pen­sion cheque, which sparked a heat­ed ex­change.

Dur­ing the ar­gu­ment, the younger man left the house and al­leged­ly promised to re­turn with a gun­man to shoot his broth­er, who had ac­cused him.

A short while lat­er, the younger broth­er's ve­hi­cle—a blue Hyundai Tuc­son—re­port­ed­ly re­turned to the home, and a masked gun­man emerged from the back seat and opened fire on the old­er broth­er.

The old­er man ran through a near­by yard but the gun­man chased him and shot him in his left fore­arm.

The at­tack­er then got back in­to the ve­hi­cle, which sped off.

Rel­a­tives took the wound­ed man to hos­pi­tal, where doc­tors treat­ed him and list­ed his con­di­tion as sta­ble.

Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tors found two spent .45 cal­i­bre shells at the scene.

Po­lice ad­vised oth­er rel­a­tives to stay at an­oth­er lo­ca­tion, out of con­cern that the at­tack­er might re­turn.
