Police arrest a Clarksville man after they say he shot his 15 year old brother in the head. We just got word the victim in the case died at Vanderbilt Medical Center. Ronnie McKinney heard loud noises outside his home around 5am.
"I heard some tires squealing and I thought it was unusual for 4:30am," says McKinney.
Fire trucks, ambulances, and police surrounded an apartment on Vista Lane.
"Generally this is a very nice area," says McKinney.
"When they got here he was inside of the house," says Clarksville Police Officer Jim Knoll.
Police say a 15 year old boy had been shot in the head, and although he was conscious, he was in critical condition. The teen was airlifted to Vanderbilt as police began their investigation.
"We do have information to believe that there is no danger to the community," says Officer Knoll.
Investigators soon turned their attention to the teenager's older brother. Police say 23 year old Brian Smith initially tried to mislead them, saying he was walking outside when he heard the gunshot. Detectives now believe Smith and several other people were inside the apartment. Police claim Smith pointed the gun at his brother's head and pulled the trigger. Neighbors say it's surprising, since a police station is very close by.
"It's very scary to think you can live on top of a police precinct and something like this can happen so close to you, but you never know," says McKinney.
No one brother has died, as another sits in jail. Police had charged Brian Smith with Reckless Endangerment and Tampering with Evidence. We're told he's now been served with a warrant for Criminal Homicide.

May 17, 2013 23:53 GMT
FORT THOMAS, Ky. (AP) -- A Kentucky veteran who was working as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan has died in an explosion in Kabul that killed at least 15 people including six Americans.
The father of 26-year-old Michael Robert Bradford of Fort Thomas said his son was smart, good in different sports and about to become a father.
Gary "Moose" Bradford, also of Fort Thomas, told The Kentucky Enquirer (http://bit.ly/12i0nVO ) he found about his son's death from Michael Bradford's wife, Sasha, on Thursday afternoon. He said he was in total disbelief.
The couple's first child is due in a few weeks.
Two American soldiers were killed along with four American civilian contractors with DynCorp International, based in Falls Church, Va.
