Wichita police say a family fight inside an apartment over the weekend culminated in the inadvertent fatal shooting of a man as his aunt and another person struggled over a gun.
Police say the shooting happened Sunday night. Investigators say the incident began when a woman, 59, grabbed a handgun as she argued with a relative. She and the relative grappled with the gun, which fired and hit the woman's nephew, John Ross, 27, in the chest.
Police say Ross had been sitting on couch and wasn't involved in the fight when he was shot. Family members rushed him to a hospital, where he died. The aunt was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter.
