MEN SHOT IN CHURCH PARKING LOT - A Dunbar man has been arrested for allegedly shooting two 18-year-old men in a church parking lot, according to the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department.

Dennis L. Cox, 59, was charged with two counts of malicious wounding.

The victims, Jonathan Edward Morris of Dunbar and Jeremy Lyle Shultz of South Charleston, told police they were in the parking lot of a church in South Charleston when Cox walked up and began shooting.

The police report says Morris and Shultz went to meet Cox because Cox owed Shultz money. Morris and Shultz got out of their vehicle, walked to Cox's van and got in.

Witnesses heard two or three gunshots and saw Morris and Shultz scramble out of the van.

Morris was shot in the arm and head, while Shultz was wounded in the face, police said.

If convicted, Cox faces up to 20 years in prison. He was being held Friday at the South Central Regional Jail on a $25,000 cash bail.
