WV KNIFE AND GUN CLUB

(02/06/2010)
MAN ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING WIFE - A Daniels, Raleigh County man has been arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of his wife.

Christopher Wayne Bowling, 37, was being held at Southern Regional Jail.

Tresa Carol Bowling, 34, was shot in Daniels around 11:30 p.m. last Sunday, according to sheriff's Sgt. Larry Lilly. She died at Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital.

Christopher Bowling claims the shooting was accidental. He said he had been handling a .380 semiautomatic when it discharged.

Police say evidence at the scene did not fit Bowling's story.

Detectives also conducted witness interviews.

The alleged motive is under investigation.

WANTON ENDANGERMENT CHARGE - 40-year-old Jack Pickens Jr. of Gallopolis Ferry WV has been arrested after what police are saying was an accidental shooting in Mason County. He has been charged with wanton endangerment.

The shooting happened at Pickens' home, where he and his cousin, 29-year-old Joshua Sprouse of Mineral Wells believed someone was messing around the property, according to the police report.

At some point, Sprouse was accidentally shot. He is listed in severe condition at a local hospital.

GUN THREAT - Elkins Police have arrested a man accused of threatening another man with a loaded gun.

They have charged Orlandis Pokey Funderburke, 31, with malicious assault, brandishing a firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm, says a criminal complaint.

Brandon Meadows was struck with Funderburke's gun, in an incident that appeared to be related to a woman.

After Funderburke and Meadows exchanged words, the court documents say, Funderburke pulled a black handgun from his waistband, cocked it, and pointed it at Meadows forehead.

Funderburke told Meadows he would "spray his brains out."

He then hit Meadows in the face twice with the gun, according to the complaint.

Meadows was taken to the hospital.

Police found that Funderburke had also been convicted of possessing a firearm in 1994.
