SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - Police say a Northern California man is suspected of shooting and killing his brother in the home where they both lived with their mother.

The Press Democrat reports (https://bit.ly/2nXVINT ) that the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office says the 38-year-old Forestville man was arrested Friday, shortly after the shooting was reported by his mother.

Sgt. Spencer Crum says the man was booked on suspicion of killing his 36-year-old brother and held without bail at the Sonoma County Jail. The man has served time in prison for shooting a handmade arrow though a car roof at two men in 2009.
