PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — A weekend shooting in Providence stemmed from an argument between brothers who were playing video games, according to a police report obtained by ABC6 News.

Eliezer Colon, 24, is accused of shooting his brother, who has not been named, at a home on East Drive Saturday.

Colon was arraigned Monday on felony domestic violence and gun charges.
