Prosecutor: Homeowner not facing charges after shooting Middletown man attempting to rob him<\/strong>
\nBy Lauren Pack<\/p>\n

A Middletown man is dead, and his brother and another man are charged with murder following an alleged burglary attempt Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Middletown police were called at 12:02 a.m. Thursday to Atrium Medical Center on a report of a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The man, 25-year-old Joshua Oatneal, died at the hospital, Sgt. Earl Nelson said.<\/p>\n

Police say three people \u2014 Joshua Oatneal, his brother Jonathon Oatneal Jr., 23, and Andrew Roberts, 22 \u2014 went to a residence in the 2600 block of Aspen Drive to commit a burglary.<\/p>\n

During the burglary the homeowner shot Joshua Oatneal. The other two men took him to the hospital and left. They were spotted a short time later in the city, and both are charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated burglary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nUpshur County grand jury declines to indict veteran in June shooting death<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Upshur County grand jury has declined to indict a veteran in a June 18 incident that left a man dead, determining the shooting was self defense.<\/p>\n

Matthew Gregory Harris, 36, had been charged with murder in the death of Michael Clint Moses, 45, in western Upshur County.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile any death is a tragedy, the absolute right of self-defense including deadly force was justified in this case,\u201d Upshur County District Attorney Billy Byrd said in a written statement.<\/p>\n

According to Byrd, deputies responded June 18 to a 911 call from Harris.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told 911 operators he shot (Moses) and would be in route to his home and be waiting on deputies to arrive,\u201d Byrd said. \u201cThis phone call clearly demonstrated how distraught Matthew was.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.” \u2014 Tench Coxe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
