NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — Authorities in the southwestern Idaho city of Nampa say a 28-year-old man is dead after his 21-year-old brother mistook him for an intruder and shot him Saturday morning with a handgun.

    Police say the man died as a result of a single gunshot wound to the chest.

    Police say the younger man was apparently asleep and was startled when his brother came to the residence at about 5:45 a.m.

    Two other adult males were in the residence at the time of the shooting.

    Police have not released names of anyone involved.
