TWO WOMEN MURDERED IN HARPERS FERRY - A shooting on White Dogwood Place in Harpers Ferry Friday shortly before 1 p.m. has resulted in the death of two women.

Jefferson County Sheriff Pete Dougherty said what started as a response to a domestic violence call took a turn for the worse when they found the bodies of the women near the rear porch of the house.

James Clark, 83, was found in the residence and had been apprehended without incident according to Dougherty.

Clark was arraigned before a Jefferson County Magistrate on two counts of 1st degree murder at around 4:00 p.m. on Friday, and he was transported to the Eastern West Virginia Regional Jail where he is currently being held without bond.

The two deceased victims have been identified as 79-year-old Shirley Clark, and her daughter, 60-year-old Elizabeth Ann Mansfield.

The investigation will continue into the evening as Sheriff's Deputies conduct a court ordered search of the residence.
