MAN AIMS GUN AT TROOPER - State police say a trooper shot and wounded a Nicholas County man after he aimed a gun at the officer.
Lt. Michael Baylous says the shooting occurred Wednesday at 64-year-old Floyd A. Graham's residence in Muddlety.
Several troopers and members of a regional drug task force went to the residence to serve a search warrant. Baylous says Graham had a gun in his hand when officers encountered him in the residence.
Baylous says Graham refused to drop the gun and then aimed it at a trooper. The trooper shot Graham once in the chest.
After Graham was shot, Baylous says he fired the gun multiple times at the officers. He then was taken into custody and was taken to a Charleston hospital.
Graham remains in stable condition.
CHARLESTON MALL SHOOTING -
The Charleston Police Department has interviewed multiple people for their possible connections to Wednesday's shooting at the Town Center Mall.
Some of them were in the area around 2:30 p.m. when Tevon Spencer, 22, was shot. Lt. Steve Cooper, chief of detectives, said he considers one a suspect.
Police have not released identities of any people they interviewed.
"We've made it clear to Mr. Spencer that if he can provide information to help us in the investigation, we'd be glad to arrest the people who continue to shoot him," Cooper said.
In January, Spencer and Elijah Wilborne were injured in a shootout on the West Side.
Spencer was shot Wednesday in the Charleston Town Center's parking garage.
At least one bullet penetrated Spencer's body.
