The bill can also come back through a special session, or if the Senate would vote to bring the bill into a Committee of the Whole and pass it. WVU officials had expected this bill to pass this session.
One person was shot and killed by U.S. Marshals in Morgantown on Wednesday. “The U.S. Marshals, Northern District of West Virginia, was involved in a line-of-duty fatal shooting today, March 6, 2019 at approximately 12:15 pm. The Marshals were attempting to arrest a suspect wanted for the attempted murder of a police officer,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Alex Neville wrote in an email. Neville did not provide the name of the fugitive. “No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident,” he wrote. “The Morgantown Police Department is the lead investigative agency on this incident. The U.S. Marshals Service will also conduct an internal review after the Morgantown PD completes its investigation. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Marshals Service will not release the names of deputy marshals involved in shooting incidents, until the conclusion of all investigations surrounding the incident.” The suspected fugitive, who was armed with a handgun, attempted to flee from the Marshals, according to a Morgantown news release. During a foot pursuit, the suspect fired the handgun. At least one member of the U.S. Marshals Service returned fire. The suspect was found dead at the scene.

Campus carry voted down in Senate Judiciary Committee BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR The campus carry bill is dead, for a second time. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 9-7 against the bill Tuesday night, which marks the second time
the campus carry bill has been killed in the last two weeks. Sens. Charles Clements, R-Wetzel, and Ryan Weld, R-Brooke, broke party lines and joined the seven Democrats on the committee to vote against the bill. The bill, which would prevent the Board of Governors from prohibit-
ing concealed carry of firearms by students, can still come back to life, again, if Judiciary were to vote a second time. However, the end of the legislative session is Saturday, which means the Senate would have to pass the bill out of Judiciary, then the Senate Finance Committee and finally make a full vote on the floor.
