Charleston Housing Fund Offices Evacuated After Shooting
WEST VIRGINIA....
The offices of the West Virginia Housing Development Fund in Charleston were evacuated Tuesday after an alleged shooter threatened to go to Charleston before he was taken into custody. Gregory Alan Smith was arrested and charged with first degree murder after West Virginia State Police say he fatally shot Gary Wilfong outside the Quarry Glenn Apartments in Weston. Police say the shooting followed a dispute between Smith, a tenant, and Wilfong, the owner of the low-rent housing complex.
Employees were allowed back into the offices after it was confirmed that Smith had been arrested. It is unclear why Smith allegedly threatened to come to the Housing Development Fund office. The West Virginia Housing Development Fund provided the tax credits for the development of the property and provides subsidy payments under a contract with HUD.
