A man is dead after a shooting in Gloversville. Investigators think he accidentally shot himself. However, the victim’s uncle doesn’t believe that.
It happened early Sunday morning at a home at 69 Fremont St. Police were called around 2:20 a.m. for a report of a shooting in front of the home.
The victim told police a man tried unsuccessfully to shoot him, and was now inside the home.
As police evacuated surrounding apartments and prepared to carry out a search warrant, they got a call for another shooting, and found Jesse Brockhum, 25, dead inside.
A semi-automatic pistol was found at the scene.
Police didn’t fire any guns, investigators said.
