WV KNIFE AND GUN CLUB

(02/14/2006)
WVU STUDENT DEAD - A WVU student was stabbed to death in Morgantown.

Officers found 21-year-old Ryan Robert Johnston on a Morgantown residence front porch with a knife wound to the chest.

Johnston was transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital's emergency room, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say the stabbing was the result of an altercation between two groups of people.

Johnston was from Washington, Pennsylvania.

The investigation is ongoing, with arrests yet to be made.

HATCHET-AND-GUN KILLER LEAVES WEB SITE - Jacob Robida, the eighteen-year-old killer left behind a Web site, which may provide some clues to his murderous behavior.

Robida was being sought in a hatchet-and-gun attack at a New Bedford, Massachusetts gay bar earlier, when he killed a police officer and a passenger in his car, 33-year-old Jennifer Rena Bailey of Charleston, West Virginia, before shooting himself. She had been his girlfriend.

His Web site has lots of swastikas, bloodied axes and obscenities. "I'm interested in death, destruction, chaos, filth and greed," he wrote.

West Virginia State Police Sergeant C. J. Ellyson said that Robida lived in Kanawha County with his now deceased girlfriend in 2004 to February 2005.

She left behind three boys, who are staying with relatives.

Police said a message found in the teenager's bedroom said that he had plans to do something violent. Police also found a makeshift coffin and a poster with a Nazi swastika and anti-Semitic writings.

BAR STABBING IN KANAWHA - Michael Moore, 45, of Charleston, was arrested after a Saturday night bar fight in which another man was stabbed.

Moore is charged with malicious wounding in connection with the stabbing of Jay Hugart, 29, at the City Limits bar on Sissonville Drive, according to Lt. C.E. Thompson of the Charleston Police Department.

Hugart was stabbed in the arm and stomach.

Moore was also injured when bar patrons wrestled him to the floor and held him until police arrived, according to police.

He was taken to CAMC General Hospital for examination, then to the South Central Regional Jail.
