WAYNE COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man is under arrest after police say he fired shots from a rifle in his home with his family inside.

John Browning, 54, of Wayne, was charged with attempted murder.

Troopers say Browning got into an argument with one his sons, which led to Browning firing a shot into the sons bedroom, with his son and wife inside.

Another son came out his room to see what was going on and after being told to go back into the room by his mother, Browning shot into that bedroom as well.

The son had gotten out of the house through the bedroom window.

According to WVSP, Browning was in the living room when he fired the shots.

The family was able to get the gun away from Browning and call 911, before getting out of the house. WVSP and Wayne police then arrived at the house.

Troopers say Browning was intoxicated at the time.

He then came out and gave himself up into custody without any incident.

"We always take the domestic calls serious because they can turn badly quickly," said Cpl. L. Pennington. "I mean, it could start out with an argument and end up with, as such, guns being fired and people getting shot and hurt bad or killed."

Browning is also charged with wanton endangerment, kidnapping and child neglect.

"She's [Browning's wife] very, very sweet, very kind lady, very family oriented," said neighbor Julia White.

White said this happened in a very quiet neighborhood. However, she said she and other neighbors have heard gunshots almost daily over the past few months.

She does not know where the shots were coming from, but the combination of that and the incident Wednesday has her a little worried.

"This is a total shock to me," said White. "Safety's always a concern, even if you're in the most reliable neighborhood, where nothing's ever happened. You know, watching the news, seeing the new things that are going on even in the smaller towns. It never hurts to be extra aware of your surroundings."

He is currently being held in the Western Regional Jail under a $150,000 bond.
