An Augusta County man is in custody after allegedly firing a gun at his neighbor in a dispute over a dog.

On Sunday, August 28, at 3:24 a.m., the Augusta County Emergency Operations Center answered a 911 call about a shooting incident that occurred at 59 Sandy Ridge Road, in the Dooms area. In the incident, a gun was fired, but fortunately, there were no injuries.

Information gathered by first responders indicated that a heated argument between neighbors over a dog had escalated into a physical fight.

Deputies from the Augusta County Sheriff's Office, assisted by the Waynesboro Police Department, responded to the scene and called in backup from SWAT and Negotiations teams.

At 5:30 a.m., while the SWAT team was on its way to the scene, Allen surrendered to police without any incident.
