Northwest District police early today arrested a Jasper Parrish resident accused of

striking his brother in the face with a loaded shotgun after a night of drinking and

fist-fighting, police said.

Jonathan L. Petrotto, 24, and his brother Louis, of West Avenue, fought at their mother's

house before Jonathan was accused of assaulting his brother with the weapon, according to

police reports.

Jonathan then ran outside, police said, and when the shotgun went off, he dropped it and

ran into his mother's home. Officers recovered a spent shotgun shell at the scene.

Police charged Jonathan Petrotto with second-degree assault, menacing, reckless

endangerment and weapons possession, they said.
