BARBOURSVILLE SHOOTING - State Police are looking for several people of interest in a fatal Barboursville shooting. The victim, 26-year-old Travis Huff, was shot two times in the back and shoulder area early Monday morning. Police say Huff had been at a bar and left with a group of people. He was shot at a friend's home after going outside to check on "some sort of commotion." WANTS GUM AND MONEY - Huntington City police are searching for a man who robbed a CVS drug store Monday evening. He was described as a white man in his late 30's or early 40's with a scruffy beard and mustache. He first asked for gum, then pointed a gun in the cashiers face. SCREAMING HOLD-UP MAN WANTS DRUGS - A man walked into the ValuRite Pharmacy on Route 62 in Putnam County Tuesday morning, waiving a gun and demanding pain pills. The man began yelling at the employees and brandishing a handgun, demanding oxycontin and Lortab. The robber claimed he wanted the drugs because his mother could no longer afford them. The man said he didn't want money, just medication for his mother, while talking about the high price of drugs.
