CRAIGSVILLE - Two men were arrested in connection to a shooting in Craigsville Saturday just before 10 p.m.

According to a release from the Augusta County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to the Fordwick Trailer Park in Craigsville where a 14-year-old girl was found with a gunshot wound to her hip.

The victim was taken from the scene and airlifted to the University of Virginia Medical Center where she remains, the release said.

A preliminary investigation revealed that several individuals were attending a party in the 200 block of Lehigh Road when an altercation broke out. A man allegedly discharged a handgun into the ground, as a warning shot, which resulted in the teen being struck, the release said.
