A man has been charged after reportedly shooting his brother during an argument in Anoka County on Saturday.

David Douglas Dady, 57, was charged Tuesday with one count of attempted second-degree murder and one count of first-degree assault.

According to court documents, the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 21600 block of Dakota Street Northwest in Oak Grove around 4:53 p.m. for a shooting.

It was determined that Dady and his brother were arguing when Dady shot him in the stomach. Court records indicate Dady was intoxicated at the time of the shooting.

After being arrested, Dady made comments suggesting his brother was having an affair with his wife and that he shot him because he pushed him and got in his face.

The gun, along with a casing and a bullet, were recovered from the home. Witnesses at the scene heard the two arguing and the gunshot, but did not see the shooting.

In a later statement, Dady said his brother had been living with him for about two years and added that he had “ongoing resentments and issues” with him.

He said he was arguing with his brother when he “ran up” and confronted him.

Dady said he was afraid his brother might hit him and felt his grandson’s safety was in danger. He said he then went downstairs and grabbed his Ruger .357 pistol.

Court records note that Dady said he intended to scare his brother and claims he took a step back and accidentally pulled the trigger.

He says he then went outside, unloaded the gun, placed it in his truck and waited for police to show up.

Dady’s brother was taken to the hospital for surgery and is in stable condition, according to court documents.

Dady remains in custody as the investigation continues.
