Argument Over James Brown's Height Leads To Shooting
2007-01-11
ATMORE, Ala. -- Police said an Alabama man shot a friend Monday when the two got into a heated argument over the height of recently deceased soul singer James Brown. Officers said Bubba David James Brooks Jr. walked into the police station Monday and said he'd been shot. Paramedics took Brooks to Atmore Community Hospital. He was later taken by helicopter to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida where he underwent stomach surgery Tuesday. A few minutes later, Cooter Dan Gulley Jr. entered the police station and told officers he shot Bubba Brooks.

#6  Ironically, BrownÂ’s height has been shrinking since his death so they both may actually be correct.

#2  That's almost as good as the hillbilly that killed his friend a few years ago in a fight over a Planet of the Apes tape.
