FAIRDALE -

Charges have yet to be filed in a shooting in Raleigh County.

Police said the shooting happened Monday morning when a man in his early 20's allegedly attempted to break into a home - -on Holly Hills Drive in Fairdale.

Deputies said the homeowner shot the intruder in the chest after the man tried to hit him with a club.

 "The circumstances of the shooting are still under investigation. I do think we have a really good handle on what happened and we do expect some criminal charges in the future but not necessarily against the shooter,"  Det. Sgt. Larry Lilly of the Raleigh County Sheriffs Department said.

The intruder is being treated at Raleigh General Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. He is able to speak with authorities at this time. Deputies are not releasing names at this time.
