Standoff Results In Death
WEST VIRGINIA....
A standoff hostage situation Thursday night on Jerry's Run Road right off Route 2 in Apple Grove, West Virginia resulted in the death of Troy McQueen. The West Virginia State Police say McQueen, held his estranged wife, Rebecca McQueen, hostage inside the home before the two moved outside to a car. She was then shot through the groin into her lower abdomen. Officers issued several commands for Troy McQueen to put down his weapon, but he refused. Feeling immediate threat, officers took action... shooting four times...one shot killing McQueen. Rebecca McQueen was flown to a Huntington hospital.
