FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- A Fayette County man was sent to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the foot after a domestic dispute among two brothers and their father turned violent.

Around 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Fayette County sheriff's deputies responded to a domestic dispute between a father and a son in the Willis Branch Road area of Hopewell. As deputies were en route to the fight, a second call came in saying one individual had armed himself with a shotgun and had shot another person, according to the Sheriff's Department.

Keith Scott Willis, 33, shot his brother, Mark G. Willis, in the foot with a shotgun loaded with birdshot, according to the Sheriff's Department. Both men are from Victor.
