A 70-year-old Gray man is accused of attempted murder after authorities say he shot his neighbor following an argument about music volume.

According to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, Thomas Kennedy admitted to the Tuesday night (April 16) shooting on Cypress Court in Gray.

The wounded neighbor, a 34-year-old man, is expected to recover, the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
