HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — A man is charged with attempted murder after police say another man was shot at and assaulted in Hanover County on Friday evening.
Deputies were called to the 6000 block of Pond Grass Road for a "suspicious situation" around 7 p.m. Friday. The caller said a young man was on his front porch, banging on the door and vomiting.
