WORKER SHOOTS HOLD-UP ARTIST AT ELKVIEW - A man tried to rob a video lottery parlor in Elkview with a shotgun yesterday, according to Kanawha County Sheriff's Department.
They say Chad Wehrle, 30 of Elkview, walked into Teresa's Café just after midnight wearing dark clothing and a red bandanna over his face and told everyone to hit the floor.
After Wehrle demanded money, store worker Douglas James rose from the floor with a 44-caliber handgun and fired two rounds, police say.
One of the shots hit Wehrle in the arm and upper torso.
Wehrle then fled the building and started firing his shotgun outside, according to police. Wehrle and James continued to exchanged gunfire, and Wehrle ran from the scene, said police.
