WSAZ reports 28-year-old Jeffery Roberts II was allegedly trying to make entry into a house when the 60-year-old homeowner “grabbed his gun and opened fire.”
He shot Roberts in the shoulder as Roberts allegedly “tried to break down the door.”

UPDATE, 8:30 a.m., Friday, Dec. 18: Craig city council will hold a special council meeting on Friday at 5:30 p.m., in which they will publicly vote to appoint a new city councilor to fill the vacant seat of Tony Bohrer.
What appeared to be a simple decision to hold a secret ballot vote to appoint a new city councilor at the Dec. 11 meeting instead turned into a Colorado Open Meetings Law violation, the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition says.
According to CFOIC Executive Director Jeffery Roberts, Colorado Open Meetings Law prohibits local and state public bodies from using secret ballots to adopt any policy, position or regulation or to take formal action.
