Argument over tattoo results in man being shot

An altercation at a home in the 1400 block of Kayak Point Road resulted in a Stanwood man shooting his brother in the leg last Sunday afternoon.

Snohomish County sheriff deputies were called to the home where the brothers live with their parents.

According to records filed in Everett District Court, the older brother, 30, was angry with his younger brother, 26, over a tattoo.

The younger brother tried to shoot his older brother in the foot to scare him, their father told police.

The younger brother told police he feared for his life because his older brother was on drugs.

He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree domestic violence assault.

The older brother was taken to the hospital for treatment.
