The mother of a teenage boy involved in a deadly shooting in Clay County is now facing criminal charges.
West Virginia State Police say 37-year-old Ryan Bird was shot and killed Tuesday outside a home on Legg Road in the Bickmore area. Investigators say Bird was involved in a domestic altercation with Misty Winebrenner just before the shooting, when the teen retrieved a rifle and fired.
Troopers later learned there was a history of domestic violence in the home, including prior incidents involving the children. Winebrenner is charged with felony child neglect and failure to report abuse. The shooting remains under investigation.
