A World War II veteran ended his life Monday in his Brooklyn home, reportedly after an argument over family issues.
Using a .25-caliber handgun he brought home from serving in WWII, the 95-year-old veteran committed suicide.
According to a report, the man wandered to the front door with the weapon, shot it once, and remarked, “Oh, it still works.” Shortly thereafter, he turned the gun on himself.
