Raleigh County Man Charged With Murder

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Twenty-nine year old Jessie Suttle was arrested Wednesday in Dunbar and charged with two counts of murder. Police say Suttle fatally shot 18 year old Landon Williams and 16 year old James Bell, both of Oak Hill, Tuesday night during a party at Suttle's home on Mill Creek Road in Mount Hope. Deputies say Suttle's brother got into an argument with Williams, and Suttle got a gun and fired two shots at Williams, striking him once in the forehead and once in the left side of his neck, killing him instantly. Suttle then shot a third round, striking Bell in the stomach. Bell was taken to Plateau Medical Center in Oak Hill, where he underwent emergency surgery but later died from injuries. Witnesses at the scene gave conflicting accounts of whether Suttle intended to shoot Bell or if the third shot ricocheted and struck him.
