Man Dies After Being Accidentally Shot by Security Guard Brother

A 28-year-old man died in Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot after being critically wounded in a shooting incident at his home in Yavne. The central suspicion in the investigation is that the deceased was accidentally shot by his 21-year-old brother, who works as a security guard for a private company. The incident occurred at the family home, where the younger brother allegedly discharged one round from his personal handgun, which he legally possessed for work. The bullet struck his older brother, who was rushed to the hospital by medical teams. Doctors attempted to save his life but were ultimately forced to declare him dead. Yavne police officers who arrived at the scene launched an immediate investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy. The shooting brother was arrested at the scene and taken for questioning. He is expected to appear before a judge at the Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court, where authorities will likely request an extension of his detention. A police statement indicated that the weapon was legally owned by a family member and that all circumstances are under review. The suspect is represented by public defender Dima Bernstein. The incident highlights the dangers of possessing firearms in a domestic setting and the need for extreme caution among licensed security personnel carrying weapons even during their off-hours at home.
