Man allegedly shot by son
A Hanna man remained in critical condition Thursday after his 17-year-old son allegedly shot him twice in the chest.
Authorities said the teenager shot Chuck Combs with a .22-caliber rifle on Dec. 22. Carbon County prosecutor David Clark said the shooting appeared to be in self-defense.
As of Thursday, charges hadn't been filed.
Meanwhile, acting Hanna Marshall Richard Fowler said Thursday that Combs was still in "extremely critical condition" at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper.
Hospital officials declined to disclose any information about Combs.
Fowler said the shooting remained under investigation.
He said the home had a history of family violence, and that Combs' drinking may have contributed to a confrontation.
