VOODOO FEAR PROMPTS SHOOTING - A Nitro man has been arrested after firing several shots at his neighbor's home, telling police that he was defending himself against his neighbors, who he said was practicing witchcraft and voodoo.
Police said Anthony Harrah awoke Sunday evening to the sound of gunshots being fired into his home.
Police spotted bullet holes in the homes windows and walls, and later discovered shots aimed at a couch where a Harrah had been sleeping.
