3 dead in W.Va. shootings, juvenile in custody

Posted:

WEST UNION, W.Va. (AP) -- Authorities say three people are dead after a shooting in Doddridge County, and a juvenile suspect is in custody.

Sheriff W.C. Underwood says the incident is under investigation, but he couldn't immediately release any details Tuesday afternoon, including the names and relationships of those involved.

Underwood says his chief investigator was at the scene, and more information may come out later Tuesday when he returns.

Media outlets report the shootings occurred Monday evening at a home near West Union along state Route 18.

A State Police spokesman said his agency isn't handling the investigation and referred questions to the sheriff's department.
