MASON COUNTY, W.Va. — A Mason County sheriff’s deputy was shot in the line of duty early Sunday morning, according to West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association Executive Director Rodney Miller.

It happened around 4:15 a.m. at a home along the 1300 block of Whitten Ridge Road, according to emergency officials.

Investigators say there had been a call that an 81-year-old man shot his caretaker, a female. When deputies entered the home, a deputy was shot in the face, WCHS reported.
