Greenbrier man suffers minor gunshot wound

Register-Herald Reporter

Police say a 21-year-old Greenbrier County man was shot while he was in his backyard Monday evening.

According to sheriff’s Chief Deputy Kirby Hanson, the shooting happened on 4th Street in Rupert between 5 and 6 p.m.

The victim, identified as Travis Wickline, was apparently outside his home when he heard shots coming from a wooded area in his backyard.

Wickline suffered a minor gunshot wound to his forearm, Hanson said. He was treated at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Fairlea and released.

Police weren’t sure Tuesday if the accident was hunting-related.

Anyone with information should call the sheriff’s department at 304-647-6634.

The incident remains under investigation by Deputy Roger Baker.
