A Tennessee police woman says she accidentally shot her brother in an argument over a tub of butter.
State trooper Angelinette Crawford lost her temper after her brother, Jaison Bilbrew, 19, lent the butter to a neighbour.
She told her brother that it was time he moved out of the Antioch apartment where he had been living with Crawford and her young son.
''Their verbal argument turned into a shoving match at the top of the stairs,'' police told The Tennessean
Crawford went to her bedroom and got her service weapon, a Glock semiautomatic pistol, according to police.
The argument continued, then Bilbrew grabbed Crawford's arm and they wrestled on the floor. Bilbrew got up, and as Crawford was getting up, the gun discharged into his leg, police said.
Bilbrew was treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre and released.
