BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — Police say a man used a Taser on two visiting relatives in a family argument in Bremerton.

A police report says he shot a 58-year-old woman Sunday and then stuck the Taser on her 56-year-old sister.

The 42-year-old man who lives with his mother was reportedly angry they put a suitcase on his pool table. He said he stunned one woman in self-defense after she hit him on the head with a wooden bellows.

The Kitsap Sun reports he was arrested on suspicion of assault and reckless endangerment.
