Showing off a .357 caliber gun turned deadly when a shot Fidel Gonzalez meant to go out the window actually hit his brother in the head. Twenty-eight year old Jorge Gonzalez died from being shot in the head, and the police believe that brothers had been drinking during the evening. Apparently the brothers, including a third brother, had been hosting a holiday party and had been drinking tequila. Around 3:45AM, Fidel Gonzalez fired a gun to celebrate, and the shot hit his brother, who died at Jacobi Hospital.
Someone called 911 and when police arrived, the brothers claimed a stray bullet had hit Jorge, according to the Post. But the police found the gun; an investigator said, "This wasn't an intentional shooting. It was a case of stupidity." The three brothers were well-liked and described as hardworking and hard drinking.
