DANVILLE, Va. – A gunfight at the Pilot Station off U.S. 58 left two men wounded and one in the hospital.
Just before 1 a.m. Friday, Danville Police were called to the Pilot Truck Stop and Gas Station on Riverpoint Drive. They found shell casings, broken door glass, and blood; however, no one involved in the incident was anywhere to be found.
Soon after, Marlowe Malik Cobbs of Danville showed up at the SOVAH Danville emergency room suffering from gunshot wounds to the lower torso. Around that time, dispatchers got a call from 34-year-old Alonzo Morris III, who had made his way to his home in Pittsylvania County.
Police say the men know and dislike each other. Both were carrying guns and each opened fire when they met at the gas station. Both men were hit and Danville Police have since recovered both firearms.
No one else was injured.
Morris was treated for a head wound. He has since been released from the hospital. Morris was arrested and charged with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and shooting into an occupied building. Cobbs, is charged with malicious wounding, and is still being treated for his injury.
