KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A woman and her son are in jail after troopers say the son fired shots at another man and killed a pit bull during an ongoing argument.

According to the West Virginia State Police, Pamela Doss, 55, drove her son, Grant Timothy Doss, 19, both of Charleston, to Terry Shaffer's home on Emmitt Lane near Dunbar Thursday afternoon. Troopers say their intentions were to continue an argument that started the night before on the telephone.

State Police say Grant Doss entered Shaffer's trailer and hit Shaffer in the face with a semi-automatic pistol. Doss then shot and killed Shaffer's dog in the front yard after he started to bark and growl at him, according to investigators.

Troopers say Doss then fired a shot toward Shaffer as he left the trailer, missing him.

Doss' mother then drove Grant away from the scene before police arrived, but they were stopped a short time later at about 1:00 p.m. on Goff Mountain Road after a Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputy spotted their car. Both were arrested.

Grant Doss is charged with one count of burglary and one count of wanton endangerment with a firearm, while his mother is charged with two counts of accessory.

Bond for Grant was set at $75,000 cash, his mother's at $35,000 cash. Troopers say Grant was already out on bond for three counts of battery and one count of destruction of property from an unrelated incident in Charleston. Both are in the South Central Regional Jail.

Investigators didn't find the gun used in the incident. They say that at the time of the shooting, other adults and children were nearby in the trailer park, but no one was hurt.

Shaffer’s injuries were limited to a busted lip, according to troopers.
