Deputy Involved In Shooting
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Cabell County Sheriff's Office says one of its deputies was involved in a shooting in downtown Huntington just before 7:00 A.M. Monday morning. Cabell County Sheriff Thomas McComas says deputies were attempting to execute an arrest warrant on 31 year old Jeremy Runyon leaving a business in the 100 bock of 4th Avenue. When deputies identified themselves, Runyon fled on foot, resulting in a pursuit which led to an alley within the 300 block of 5th Avenue. According to McComas, Runyon moved toward a deputy with his hand in his pocket, refusing to comply with verbal commands. The deputy fired his gun hitting Runyon once in the abdomen. The deputy has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
