Terry G. Moody Jr., 48, died on August 26, 2022, in Sissonville, West Virginia, in what local authorities describe as an accidental shooting. Moody, originally from Glouster, Ohio, had recently moved to Kanawha County and was working outside on his property with his wife when the incident occurred. The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office says a pistol carried in Moody’s pocket inadvertently discharged; Metro 911 was notified about 10:40 a.m. and deputies were sent to Second Creek Road.

Officials report no signs of foul play and no suspects have been identified. The death has been classified as accidental pending confirmation from the medical examiner’s autopsy. Has anyone in the Sissonville area seen or heard anything that could clarify how the pistol discharged?
