RUSSIAN ROULETTE SHOOTING - A Kanawha County man was killed Thursday evening at Campbells Creek in what police say is a "Russian roulette" shooting.
Brad Rhodes, 31, was with at least three other people in front of his home on Campbells Creek, when the incident happened.
Russian roulette involves putting one live round in the cylinder of a revolver, randomly spinning the cylinder and pulling the trigger in hopes the hammer falls on an empty chamber.
Police say it appears Rhodes pulled the trigger on a live bullet.
Deputies arrived within minutes, but Rhodes was dead.
Police did not know if the others were participating in the "game."
TEEN THREATENS WITH PELLET GUN AT SCHOOL - A teenager is in jail after allegedly threatening students and staff at a Clarksburg school with a pellet gun.

Police say the student pulled out the weapon, and began making threats.
Some of the students fled the building, as Clarksburg Police were called to the scene.
Berkley, according to police, hid the weapon in a closet inside of a classroom and left the scene.
