Man shot in South Charleston; neighbor not surprised

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Police in South Charleston said a man was shot Tuesday morning along Staunton Avenue.

South Charleston resident Lorrie Adams lives close to 241 Staunton and she told 58WCHS she heard seven shots at around 10:15 a.m.

“I had walked out onto the porch and I heard someone go– ‘Ugh!’ and then bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,” Adams said.

Investigators said Jason Flester, of South Charleston, was shot twice and taken to a Charleston area hospital for treatment.

Adams called 911 after hearing someone groaning. She said she’s not surprised at what happened at that house.

“No they’re not quiet! They argue all the time. I call the police on them at least two times a year, it’s always something. We knew this was coming,” Adams said.

Police had police tape set up around both 241 and 243 Staunton. They were looking for 2008 Mercury Milan with West Virginia plates.
