Trial details unfold in Bradshaw shooting case
McDowell County Prosecuting Attorney Sid Bell says Al Vance rode into Bradshaw intoxicated on a horse and caused a disturbance. A police chief recovered a firearm, but a second hidden 22 caliber pistol was found in a waste pack. Vance shot Police Chief Chloe Stanton in the head after removing a weapon. State witnesses testified Vance was coherent an hour before, with pharmacists Corrola and Waddell describing his visit to the Bradshaw Pharmacy and his carrying of a gun. Medical examiner James Caplane ruled Stanton’s death fatal. The trial resumes.
