Sibling dispute involving frying pan, machete and gun ends with brother and mother jailed

A dispute between twin brothers in Flagler County, Florida, involving a frying pan and machete ended with one possibly wounded and put in jail after a shot was fired and their mother charged with filing a false police report.
Franklin and Daniel Goggans, both 27, had been arguing outside a Palm Coast home on Tuesday morning when Daniel Goggans went inside and came back out with the frying pan, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said. He stood on his brother’s truck and tapped on his windshield with the skillet as his brother sat inside.

He then retrieved a machete and told his brother, who had got out of the truck, that he would “cut him up,” the Sheriff’s Office report said. Franklin Goggans returned to his truck to leave but found that his keys were missing, prompting him to grab his gun. Pointing the gun at his brother, he warned him to stay away then fired two shots toward the ground, telling deputies one of the shots may have hit his sibling.

Deputies said it appeared that Daniel Goggans sustained a foot wound but he would not tell the them how he was injured. He was charged with domestic violence assault. The Sheriff’s Office said the men’s mother, Lajuana Goggans, 55, denied that any shots were fired and interfered with the investigation, resulting in her being jailed along with her son.
