SEASIDE, Calif. - A Seaside man has pleaded guilty to attempted murder of his brother after chasing him across the city with a machine gun, the Monterey County District Attorney's Office said.

Seaside police were dispatched to multiple locations on Nov. 28, 2022, following calls to 911 about gunfire between two cars that hit multiple civilian vehicles.
