Cops: Neighbors' dispute in Minn. turns deadly, shooter arrested

MINNEAPOLIS - One person was fatally shot and another was wounded when a dispute between neighbors reached a boiling point in New Brighton, Minn., reports CBS Minnesota.

Authorities say they received a call reporting the dispute around 8:30 p.m. Monday. When they arrived, they found a man and a woman who had both been shot, according to the station. The man was pronounced dead at the scene; the woman was transported to a hospital for treatment.

According to police, the pair lived together and had a history of arguments with one of their nearby neighbors - and that one of the sore points between them had to do with feeding deer.

Authorities said the female victim in the incident had a restraining order against Zumberge and according to the station, he had previously been arrested at least once for violating that restraining order.
