WEST VIRGINIA KNIFE AND GUN CLUB - God Rest Ye Merry Shoppers

(12/20/2004)
Charleston police were looking for a shooter last night after 35-year-old Ernest White was shot just outside the busy Charleston Town Center shopping mall.

The mall was crowded with Christmas shoppers at 4:30 p.m. Sunday when White staggered into the center to ask for help.

White was walking across a busy street to the mall from Charleston's upscale Mariott Hotel.

He was shot once in the back with a small-caliber weapon, police said.

He was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center's General Division, his condition unknown.

Police are looking for a black Monte Carlo which could be connected to the shooting.
