CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- A 15-year-old Coral Springs, Fla., boy fatally stabbed his 14-year-old brother during an argument over the noise level on a computer, police said.

William Gorzynski was charged with second-degree murder Monday after he allegedly stabbed his brother, Matthew, with a knife, Coral Springs Police Sgt. Joe McHugh said.

The brothers lived with an older brother and their divorced father. The two teens were alone at the time of the stabbing and had argued over the volume level on a home computer, McHugh said.

Last week, a 12-year-old Coral Springs boy pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted murder for stabbing a 13-year-old neighbor, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Tuesday. The 12-year-old was sentenced to 18 months in a high-risk juvenile facility in Hillsborough County.
