OVERTON - A family quarrel between brothers narrowly avoided tragedy on Christmas Eve in Overton.

According to an arrest affidavit filed by Overton Police Officer Janice Bagley, witnesses allege Cory Lyndall Grant, 23, of Overton fired a pistol during the dispute, with the shot barely missing his brother's young daughter.
