ATMORE, Ala. (AP) - A man shot a friend when the two got into an argument over James Brown\'s height, police said.
Dan Gulley Jr. was charged with assault in the shooting of David James Brooks Jr., police said. Officers said the men were at a friend\'s home on Monday when, according to witnesses, the argument over the height of the late "Godfather of Soul" escalated, with Gulley, 70, shooting Brooks, 62, twice in the abdomen.

Brooks went to his car, got a gun and shot at Gulley but missed, then went to the police station, officers said.

Gulley also went to the station and told police he had shot Brooks. He remained in the Escambia County Jail on Wednesday.

Brooks was taken to a hospital, but information on his condition was not available.

The Mobile, Ala., Press-Register newspaper said officers did not believe alcohol was a factor in the argument.

Brown, who was known to wear lifts, died of heart failure Dec. 25 at age 73. Accounts of his height vary.

what did he shoot him with? a bb gun? The guy got shot twice in the abdomen yet he was still able to go out to his car, retrieve a gun, attempt to shoot his attacker, and then goes to the police station instead of the hospital! Plus both guys are old enough to be in AARP.

This is why stereotypes remain stereotypes.....F\'n N\'s

I saw no photos of the individuals and read no mention of their races. Ignorance is why stereotypes remain stereotypes.
