Kelli Watts, 50, was shot just before 10 a.m. Wednesday and taken to a local hospital for treatment. Police learned about the incident when a man called 911 to report he had accidentally shot his mother in the face.
Interim Huntington Police Chief Hank Dial reiterated Thursday afternoon that, based on a consultation with the Wayne County prosecutor, no charges would be filed as investigators examine evidence in the case. Multiple people were at the Piedmont Road home when police arrived and were questioned by officers.
