Appeals ruling upholds immunity in Shenandoah deputy shooting
A federal appeals court panel in the Fourth Circuit ruled that a Shenandoah County deputy cannot be sued by the Milstead estate for an accidental shooting. The panel said officers cannot be second-guessed for split-second decisions in rapidly evolving danger. Milstead had called 911 claiming an attack, and the deputy mistook him for the assailant, killing him and injuring his fiancée.

West Virginia tobacco license bill draws Senate backing
The Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed a bill requiring photo IDs and store licenses to buy or sell tobacco. The proposal would revoke licenses after multiple sales to minors, with annual fees of 10 dollars under SB502, versus up to 100 dollars under HB2821. Supporters argue enforcement funds, opponents warn prices hurt retailers. Federal grants tied to youth tobacco purchase rates loom over the state.
