West Virginia gun and mine safety cases prompt county notices
A string of incidents across McDowell and Mercer counties includes a triple shooting in which a male juvenile died and his mother was wounded, a separate fatal shooting in Bluefield, and a sheriff report of a man later found dead after a confrontation on Appaloosa Street. Police seek information on the Bluefield case while a decedent in Princeton was robbed during a separate armed incident. A mine rescue mission in Keystone No 1 ended when conditions proved too unsafe, and the mine was resealed. The opioid crisis worsens in the region with rising heroin use and fentanyl threats amid lawsuits against drug companies.
