Sniper-Style Shootings Reported In W. Va.
POSTED: 10:29 a.m. EDT August 15, 2003
There have been three fatal shootings outside convenience stores in Kanawha County, W.Va, within four days.
At about 10:20 p.m. Thursday a woman was shot while pumping gas at a SuperAmerica store in Campbells Creek, W.Va., WVIT-TV reported. The second fatal shooting happened a little more than an hour later and 10 miles away outside a Go-Mart in Cedar Grove, W.Va., on U.S. Route 60.
Kanawha County sheriff's spokesman Lt. J.S. Bailes said the shootings appear to be random.
Sunday night, 34-year-old George Carrier of South Charleston, W.Va., was shot in the head and killed while using a pay telephone outside a Charleston Go-Mart.
Police across the area have been alerted to increase patrols around stores with gas pumps. They are looking for a black pickup truck with gold trim seen leaving the Cedar Grove store and a dark-green or blue Chevrolet Corsica from the Campbells Creek shooting.
Police are not confirming that the shootings are connected, but they are an eerie reminder of Washington, D.C., sniper shootings last year.
