UPDATE 8/2/10 @ 6 p.m.
MINGO COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man from Mingo County has been charged in a double shooting in Kermit that left one person dead.
Chief James Smith with the Mingo County Sheriff's Department says Darrell Davis entered a cabin along Newsome Ridge Saturday and shot Gary Newsome and Laura Davis. Then, Davis allegedly dragged his estranged wife, Laura, out of the cabin and put her into his vehicle and allegedly set the house on fire with Newsome inside.
"He took the butt of the gun and struck her in the head," Smith said. "She was in the vehicle, we believe, at least five to six hours before she got help."
Smith says Davis then took Laura to Flemingsburg, Ky., where his cousin lives. Davis' cousin took Laura to a hospital in Morehead, Ky. Laura was later flown to a hospital in Lexington.
"She had to be terrified not knowing if she was going to live or die -- had to be a strong woman," Smith said.
Davis was arrested and charged in Kentucky and taken to the Mason County Detention Center.
He faces several charges including, burglary, arson, murder, attempted murder and kidnapping.
Deputies hope to extradite him back to West Virginia later this week.

Matt did you ever do anything wrong in your life? Well u just hurt a child that loves her uncle was that wrong?
I'm sorry for you loss, Santana. But just because we love someone doesn't mean what they are doing is alright. Sure, love him. But understand, what he was doing was wrong.
The news states it was his estranged wife, that usually means "ex", no longer married, divorced, etc.
