A Missouri Western State University Student has been charged in connection with a shooting Christmas Eve at Broadmoor Apartments that sent his twin brother to the hospital.

Cori Smith, 32 is charged in Buchanan County with a felony for Unlawful Use of Weapon.

As we previously reported, police responded around 12:30 a.m. Thursday to Broadmoor Apartments after an argument led to a shooting.

“Pointed a semi automatic handgun at the victim and shot multiple rounds from that weapon at the victim, striking once in each leg,” Det. Frank Till said in a probable cause statement. “The victim and the defendant are twin brothers.”

The victim was taken to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of what police described as non-life threatening injuries.

Court documents said Smith is a student at Missouri Western State University but is not from St. Joseph.

Smith is out on $25,000 bond.  An arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday.
