A wild manhunt ended yesterday after Chase Fleming was caught following a dramatic cross-country chase through snow-dripped Jackson and Roane Counties. The manhunt began when Fleming shot his own father in the face with a crossbow.

Officials from Roane, Kanawha Counties, WV State Police, and the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources teamed up for the relentless pursuit through the snow. Their efforts ended the chase and hopefully prevented more bloodshed.

Fleming faces a count of malicious assault. Prosecutors may hit him with more charges after the grand jury convenes. Bond is still under wraps.
