One man was shot and killed in Morgantown Thursday evening and a suspect was apprehended shortly after.
According to Morgantown Communications Director Andrew Stacy, city police officers were called to 18 Van Gilder St. shortly after 5 p.m. to a report of a shooting.
There, officers found an adult male victim, who later died at the scene.
By 8 p.m., the suspect was being questioned by Morgantown Police Department detectives, Stacy said.
