A Ritchie County man has been charged with second-degree murder after he allegedly broke into a home at Pennsboro, Ritchie County, killing one man and shooting another.

The incident took place Memorial Day.

State Police say Lanham shot 55-year-old Barry "Buck" Moore several times in the arm.

Lanham was then shot in the hand and torso by someone in the home.

Police say Lanham shot and killed 36-year-old Jon Broadwater of West Union.
