WELCH, W.Va. (AP) - The annoying buzz of an all-terrain vehicle may have triggered a deadly shootout that led police to file a rare charge of "murder by duel," authorities said.
The count, based on a dueling law that predates West Virginia's statehood, was filed Monday against Steven Bryant Simpson, 47, said state trooper J.S. McCarty.
Simpson is accused of killing Dana Martin, 39, in an April 20 shootout a few hundred yards from Simpson's home.
