ATMORE, Ala. (AP) - A man shot a friend when the two got into an argument over James Brown’s height, police said.

Dan Gulley Jr. was charged with assault in the shooting of David James Brooks Jr., police said. Officers said the men were at a friend’s home on Monday when, according to witnesses, the argument over the height of the late “Godfather of Soul” escalated, with Gulley, 70, shooting Brooks, 62, twice in the abdomen.

Brooks went to his car, got a gun and shot at Gulley but missed, then went to the police station, officers said.

Gulley also went to the station and told police he had shot Brooks. He remained in the Escambia County Jail on Wednesday.

Brooks was taken to a hospital, but information on his condition was not available.

The Mobile, Ala., Press-Register newspaper said officers did not believe alcohol was a factor in the argument.

Brown, who was known to wear lifts, died of heart failure Dec. 25 at age 73. Accounts of his height vary.

What in the world is wrong with people? Why shoot your friend, or anyone else for that matter, for something as trivial as how tall somebody is? WHO CARES?!?!

The other day I was talking to somebody about Rocky Balboa, which is a great movie BTW, and I accidentally said I thought Stallone was 62. A simple Google search of Sylvester Stallone turned up this Wikipedia page which states that Stallone is really only 60. Do I need to be afraid for my life?

    Well, you might get shot for saying that Rocky Balboa is a good movie.
    Shouldn’t they have just had the Russian guy fighting Mr. T and leave out Rocky? That would be a sweet movie. Maybe the Karate Kid could be in it too… Hmmm that would be nice.
    Also, if 24 fought The Office who would win?

    Like that is even a discussion? Ummm, it would go like this… Jack Bauer would surround the office and Dwight would kill all of his office mates in a pathetic attempt to save their lives. Duh Mike! lol

    Jack would surround the office single-handedly right?
