WAYNE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A Wayne County magistrate sent the murder case of Daniel Smith and Stephen Wilson to the grand jury Wednesday afternoon. The two are accused of murdering Huntington pastor Mark McCalla at a gun range in Beech Fork last month.
Security was very tight at the Wayne County courthouse today as Smith and Wilson appeared before Magistrate Teddy Mays.
Testimony was heard from an ATF agent as to the arrest of the two suspects in Columbus, Ohio.
The agent said he took a statement from Smith who said that the two went to the shooting range to steal guns.
When they arrived there Mr. McCalla was at the range and that Smith and Wilson confronted McCalla about the weapons. At that time, Smith turned to Wilson and said "do you want to do it" and at that time Wilson shot McCalla then drug his body from the area.
Some members of Pastor McCalla's family attended today's proceedings but did not want to comment after the hearing.

Im very excited to be a police officer to catch people like this, and send it to prison before they do such a thing like that. I guarantied that!!!
The trial has been postponed to the Spring. These sub-humans deserve the most severe punishment possible. Their actions may now cause Pastor Mark's father his life. He had a stroke this week as a direct result of the stress of losing his son in such a horrific manner. The death penalty needs to brought back to West Virginia.
Have these two been sentenced yet?
