Stafford, Va. — A man and woman were shot and a Stafford man now faces charges.
Stafford sheriff’s deputies were called to Mary Washington Hospital to find a 21-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man both suffering non-life threatening gunshot wounds. The two were dropped off at the hospital, and they told investigators they were shot after they got into an argument with 74-year-old Willie Claude Herring II, of 1555 Brooke Road in Stafford, said sheriff’s department spokesman Bill Kennedy.
The victims were treated for their injures, but authorities have not said what the argument was about and added the suspect and the victims are not related.
After talking with the victims, a SWAT team went to the suspect’s home and arrested him.
Herring is charged with two counts of malicious wounding, possession of firearm by a convicted felon, shooting in an occupied dwelling and with possession with the intent to distribute. He was held on no bond.
