Huntington Man Sentenced

{Huntington, West Virginia}...Mitchell Dunn, 52, of Huntington, was sentenced to three to 15 years in prison after he entered a Kennedy plea to attempted murder during a hearing in Cabell County Circuit Court Thursday morning. Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook says, around 1:30 A.M. on January 22nd, officers went to the 900-block of Washington Avenue to check out a call of shots fired. They initially didn't find anyone who looked suspicious so they left the scene. About 25 minutes later, 911 started receiving multiple calls about shots being fired again. When police returned, they found Dunn on his porch with a gun which they say he raised and fired a round in their direction. An officer returned fire and struck Dunn in the leg and shoulder.
