Double Shooting Investigated

The Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting incident. It happened Tuesday afternoon on Tyner Road. Sheriff Mike McCauley says his deputies were called by the wife of the victim. She says her husband was confronted in his driveway when he arrived home from work. The suspect ordered the husband into his home and shot him in the back while he was walking down some steps. The victim was then able to obtain a gun and he shot the suspect who fled the home. Deputies later found the suspect in a nearby home. Both the victim and the suspect were taken to the hospital for surgery. Their names have not been released. Sheriff McCauley says he does not know of a motive in the case and charges won’t be filed until the suspect is released from the hospital.
