A woman is dead and her husband wounded after state police said their son shot them inside their Greene County home Friday afternoon.
Police said they were called to the Garrison Ridge Road home in Freeport Township shortly before 2 p.m. and found two victims who suffered gunshots in the residence.
Both were taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va., where the woman died from her injuries, police said. The man, who was not immediately identified, suffered a gunshot wound and is listed as stable, police said.
Greene County Coroner Gene Rush identified the deceased woman as Mary Noll, although he said the West Virginia Medical Examiner’s office is handling the death investigation because she died in Morgantown.
State police identified the gunman as the couple’s son, 18-year-old Jarrod Noll of New Freeport, and said he left the scene following the shooting. Troopers searched the area, but were unable to find Noll. Investigators did not release a motive or details about what happened that precipitated the shooting.
Police charged Noll with criminal homicide and attempted homicide Saturday morning, according to online court records, and released photographs from video surveillance showing him entering an unidentified store. He’s described as being a white man about 6-feet-tall with brown hair and a mustache and thick eyebrows. He was last seen wearing a camouflage jacket, blue jeans and brown boots.
Noll may be armed, so police said the public should not approach them if they see him. Anyone with information on Noll’s location is asked to call 911 or the state police barracks in Waynesburg at 724-627-6151.
