A Burlington man is accused of shooting his father in the face after an argument about “stinky feet.”

According to an arrest affidavit, David Carpenter, 48, called the police late Sunday night and said he shot his father.

When Burlington police officers arrived at the home on the 2700 block of Monarch Drive they took Carpenter into custody in the front yard.

Officers then found Carpenter’s father inside the home with a gunshot wound to the face.

Carpenter’s father was taken to a hospital; the injury was not considered life-threatening.

According to the arrest affidavit:

At the hospital, the father told police the two were arguing about “David’s stinky feet” before the shooting.

During an interview at the Burlington Police Department, Carpenter told detectives he was in the living room with his father, who was in a motorized scooter, when his father said Carpenter’s feet stank.

He claimed there was a heated argument between the two of them over family issues, and his father made a comment about shooting him.

Carpenter then walked back to his bedroom and grabbed his gun.

When he returned, he had the gun behind his back while yelling at his father about “guns.” He then pointed it at his father’s face, “accidentally pulling the trigger.”
