{Charleston, West Virginia}...Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred about 1:30 A.M. Wednesday morning at a house on Sissonville Drive in Sissonville. Investigators say 55 year old Dale Thomas Newhouse, who lives at the residence, shot 41 year old James Bryan Shaffer, who had been staying with him. Shaffer was taken to CAMC General Hospital, where he later died, after being shot in the abdomen. Kanawha County Sheriff's Captain B.C. Robbins says it appears Newhouse was waiting in the driveway of his home when deputies arrived. Newhouse is being held in the South Central Regional Jail without bail after being arraigned on murder charges. In 2008, Newhouse was charged with malicious wounding when Dawn Withrow claimed he raped her and then shot her in the chest. Shaffer was convicted in 1998 for first degree sexual abuse. He served one year and seven months for that crime.
