| Man Charged with Shooting of
Two |
| |
| A Morganton man is in jail and his alleged
victims are hospitalized after a January 24th shooting in western Burke
County. |
Chester Lee Summers, of
4183 Chambers Chapel Church Rd., Morganton is under a $100,000 secured bond
after allegedly shooting Demeatree Ivery and Chad L. Summers of 3404 Lytle
Drive, Morganton.
According to Burke County detectives Tom Rhyne and
Jerry McCall, the shooting may have been the result of a sum of money Chester
Summers supposedly was owed by the victims. |
 |
|
|
|
| |
| At approximately 6:05 PM, Chester Summers went
to Chad Summers and Ivery's residence and waited for them to return, according
to investigators. Once they arrived home, an argument took place inside the
residence, escalating to the point that Chad Summers allegedly shot Chad
Summers three times and Demeatree Ivery once. Chad Summers was shot as he
attempted to obtain a firearm, detectives said. |
| |
| Chester Summers left the residence but turned
himself in at the Burke County Sheriff's Office shortly afterwards. He was
charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill
inflicting serious bodily injury. Summers was jailed in the Burke Catawba
District Confinement Facility and faces a first court appearance on January
26th. |
| |
| The victims were admitted to Grace Hospital,
where they are listed in stable condition. |
