An Inwood, W.Va., man was shot in the arm after he broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment early Wednesday near the Shepherd University campus.
Harold Marsh, 48, was taken to the hospital and treated for his wound before he was charged with burglary and wanton endangerment with a firearm, according to a news release from the Jefferson County (W.Va.) Sheriff's Office.
He is being held at Eastern Regional Jail on a $100,000 bond.
Sheriff Pete Dougherty said deputies were called at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday for a report of a burglary in progress on Hensel Drive in the University Heights apartment complex.
While authorities were responding to the scene, they received information that there was an armed intruder and a gunshot had been fired. Marsh was found in the stairwell with a bullet wound to his arm when officers arrived.
Dougherty said an investigation determined Marsh was armed with an assault-style rifle and a small-caliber handgun when he kicked in the door of his ex-girlfriend's apartment.
He said some of the residents confronted Marsh and were able to wrestle the rifle away, but the pistol discharged during the struggle and the bullet struck him in the arm.
The sheriff added another man suffered minor injuries.
Deputies were assisted at the scene by the Shepherdstown and Shepherd University police departments.
Anyone with further information may call the sheriff's office at 304-728-3205.
