In a bizarre case in the United States, a 25-year-old man shot dead his elder brother during an argument over a cheeseburger. Benjamin Middendorf, from St Cloud, Florida, is facing murder charges after shooting and killing his brother during an argument over a cheeseburger, the police said.

Benjamin called 911 on Thursday night and told the police he had just shot his brother, Nicholas, at their home, an arrest report said. Nicholas Middendorf, 28, was later declared dead at the home from a single gunshot wound to the chest, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

In the 911 call, Benjamin is heard screaming and shouting at a dispatcher that he was "trying to hold the pressure" on his brother's chest.

He is also heard telling the dispatcher they "were in a fight and I grabbed a gun and I shot him. Oh, my God."
