Perry County Man Arrested for Attempted Murder of Brother

An Avawam man is facing an attempted murder charge for a Tuesday evening shooting involving his brother.

The Perry County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called to a home on Mudlick Road on a report that Michael Neace had allegedly been shot in the arm by his brother Dalton Colmer.

Deputies say they saw Colmer nearby holding a shotgun but he immediately surrendered without incident.

He is also charged with wanton endangerment, but the Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is still taking shape.
