A fight turned physical and resulted in gunfire after one man was smacked with a rock Monday afternoon.
At about 3:33 p.m., a 30-year-old was lying on the 3600 block of Wharton Street with a gunshot wound to the chest, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Upon the arrival of the police, the man directed the officers to his alleged shooter’s home on the same block.
Robert Brady, 64, exited his home and was arrested. Police recovered a loaded silver gun with black grips on Brady, who has a valid gun permit, Tolliver said.
After waiving his rights, he allegedly told detectives that during a verbal disagreement, the 30-year-old hit him on the head with a rock, so he shot him in the chest, Tolliver said. Meanwhile, the 30-year-old allegedly told detectives Brady bit his left arm prior to him striking his head.
Brady was transported to Methodist Hospital to treat his head laceration while police transported the other man to HUP where he was treated and released.
Brady was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and possession of an instrument of crime.
