Man shoots mother over $2

A criminal complaint alleges a 31-year-old man in Oak Creek, Wis., shot his mother three times after she refused to give him $2.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Frederick W. Bertrang stands accused of first-degree reckless injury with use of a dangerous weapon and second-degree recklessly endangering safety with a dangerous weapon in relation to an alleged attack on his mother and his brother's girlfriend.

Authorities allege Bertrang attacked his mother, Patricia, last Thursday after she refused to give him $2 for a bar's cover charge.
