Jack S. Macaluso reportedly shot Dale C. McGregor with a long gun during an argument in the residence, according to a press release. McGregor died of his injuries, police say.
Macaluso was charged with second degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child. He is being held in jail on no bail while the investigation continues.
A reporter for the Mountain Eagle was at the scene and has more details:
It is believed that the shooting occurred at McGregor’s residence, but state police said they could not confirm it Thursday. Complicating matters is a one-vehicle accident involving a car belonging to one of the men that apparently occurred before the shooting. A trooper at the scene confirmed that the car was registered to McGregor, but would give no further details.
The investigation is continuing, police say.
