GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia-area man remained in the Gallia County Jail on Monday as prosecutors prepared charges against him in connection with the wounding of two individuals last week.
Daries D. Pemberton, 31, 3291 Ohio 233, Patriot, was arrested by Gallia County sheriff’s deputies on Friday after he allegedly shot Tammy J. Christian, 23, and Victor Hayslip, 83, at two nearby residences on 233 about 3 miles from Oak Hill.
Pemberton was to be arraigned this morning in Gallipolis Municipal Court.
The sheriff’s office announced in a news release Saturday that Pemberton would be charged with two counts of attempted murder. The court was awaiting the filing of formal charges by the prosecuting attorney’s office on Monday.
Gallia County 9-1-1 was alerted to the incident at 5:13 p.m. when a female caller told dispatchers “he has a gun” and the line was disconnected. Sheriff’s deputies, assisted by the State Highway Patrol and Oak Hill police, secured the two residences and reported that Christian and her father, Hayslip, had been wounded by gunfire.
EMS transported Christian and Hayslip to the Greenfield Township Volunteer Fire Department, where they were taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Huntington, W.Va., by air ambulance.
Christian and Hayslip were both reported to be in stable condition on Monday.
