BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: There has been another shooting at a convenience store near Charleston, West Virginia.
Art Harris live from that town again with us this morning -- Art, a couple of questions about this, whether or not it's been connected to the fatal shootings over the past two weeks or if there was any injuries as a result last night.

Good morning there.

ART HARRIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: No injuries last night. That's the good news, Bill.

As far as a connection, what appears to be similar is a dark maroon pickup truck was spotted outside a convenience store, shots taken late at night near here, this time at a 16-year-old girl who was barely missed. She said she turned around, looked at an intersection near the store, turned back to the store and the shots whizzed by.

She told police, called 911. They put the word out and a deputy actually picked the truck up several miles away and gave chase, a high speed chase, and lost this truck in the hills and hollows of West Virginia -- Bill.

HEMMER: Art Harris near the scene there in Charleston, West Virginia.

Thanks, Art.
