One brother was killed and another injured in Alabama when they tried to prevent their dad from committing suicide and a struggle ensued, officials said.

 

The Blount County Sheriff’s Office said that the 21- and 23-year-old sons were shot Thursday night in Hayden as they attempted to grab a gun from their father, news station WBMA reported.

 

The gunfire reportedly struck one man in the hand, with the bullet passing through and wounding his brother in the chest, according to AL.com.

 

They were rushed to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, where one of the victims died overnight. The other brother is recovering from non-life threatening injuries, officials said.

 

Authorities have not released the identities of the victims.

 

No charges have been filed but investigators are questioning the father.

“Young and the Restless” star Kristoff St. John is reportedly undergoing psychiatric treatment.

 

The 51-year-old New York native had a “scare regarding his mental health,”according to Entertainment Weekly.

 

In 2014, his 24-year-old son Julian, who suffered from schizophrenia, committed suicide at a mental health care facility in Long Beach, Calif.

 

 

Kristoff St. John, the long-running star of “The Young and the Restless,” was found dead on Sunday. He was 52.

 

Friends went to check on St. John at his San Fernando Valley home on Sunday, when they discovered his body, TMZ reported. They called police and paramedics, who pronounced the actor dead at the scene.

 

Police and reps for St. John didn’t immediately returned Page Six’s request for comment.

 

In a since-deleted tweet, however, St. John’s ex-wife, boxer Mia St. John, blamed the mental health facility that treated their son for Kristoff’s death.

 

“THAT HOSPITAL KILLED OUR SON @TheArtofJulian THEN MY HUSBAND @kristoffstjohn1 THATS WHAT HAPPENED! THEY KILLED MY FAMILY,” she wrote.

 

Kristoff and Mia’s son, Julian, died by suicide in 2014 while seeking treatment at the unnamed facility. They sued for negligence and later settled. The former couple also founded the El Saber es Poder (Knowledge Is Power) Foundation to battle mental illness.

 

In 2017, Kristoff threatened suicide and was placed on a 72-hour hold for psychiatric evaluation.

 

He leaves behind two daughters, Paris St. John and Lola St. John.

Mental illness definitely runs in the family.
