| 11/27/2009 |
| A Fargo man whose Minnesota family was featured on a cable channel reality show has been arrested, accused of trying to shoot one of his brothers. Police say Joseph Heppner, 24, pointed a loaded pistol at his brother, Samuel, 26, and pulled the trigger twice. It didn`t fire. Joseph told officers that he knew the gun was loaded and that he intended to scare his brother. There was a round in the chamber that apparently misfired. The brothers had gotten into an argument at Samuel`s home in Fargo. Heppner remains in Cass County jail, pending $50,000 bail. The brothers are part of the Heppner family of Warroad, Minn., that boasted of 16 children. They were featured in a 2007 Learning Channel series, "Kids by the Dozen." |
