Police Arrive Within Minutes Of Shooting
"CHARLESTON, WV — Police said a Charleston man shot another man to death inside a West Side home on Sunday night, then killed himself.
"Michael Cassell, 36, was shot multiple times inside the bedroom of his home at 926 Red Oak St. by Patrick Price, 34, of Randolph Street, police said at a news conference this morning. Price then shot himself, police said.
"Cassell's wife and 11-year-old daughter were in the home when the shooting happened, but escaped unharmed, police said.
"Police said the incident could be characterized as a home invasion, even though Price and Cassell knew each other.
"`It was definitely not random,` said Charleston Police Department Lt. Steve Cooper. `The suspect in this case was specifically targeted.`
"The shooting happened at 9:34 p.m. Sunday, police said. Both men were dead when police got to the scene minutes later."
