An argument escalated into gunfire
in Wyoming County , leaving one man dead, one
wounded and one in jail Wednesday night.
“Upon arrival we had one victim dead at the
scene and one suffering from another gunshot wound,” said Wyoming County
Sheriff Randall Aliff.
Deputies arrested Ravencliff
resident James Green, 37, who was charged with first-degree murder and
attempted murder. Green was taken to the Southern Regional Jail.
Ernie Cline, 26, of Kopperston was
killed and Jesse Grabeal, 28, of McGraws was flown to the Charleston Area
Medical Center
and remained in stable condition.
Green was visiting his aunt in the
McGraws Community.
“An altercation started outside the house,” said Aliff. “Greene
went outside to investigate and that’s when the shooting started. We’re not
sure what the altercation is over. That’s still under investigation.”
