MONTROSE, W.Va. — A Randolph County man is hospitalized with gunshot wounds and two people are in jail charged with his shooting.
State Police say the incident happened around 9:15 Thursday evening at a home in the Montrose community of Randolph County.
Troopers say Derek Arbogast, 37, of Montrose in an argument is accused of shooting his brother Brett Arbogast, 31, of Elkins. The victim suffered multiple wounds from a .22 caliber revolver. Troopers say after the initial shooting a second individual identified as Larry Talkington, 62, of Montrose allegedly restrained the victim when he left the house and dragged him back into the home to prevent him from leaving. Once inside, State Police say is when Arbogast was hit by more gunfire from his brother.
The younger Arbogast was flown to Morgantown’s Ruby Memorial Hospital and remains there recovering from his wounds.
Talkington and Derek Arbogast are in jail facing charges of Attempted First Degree Murder.
