West Virginia Man Wanted In Canonsburg Shooting

Authorities are searching for a West Virginia man wanted in connection with a shooting in Canonsburg early Wednesday.  A warrant has been issued for 48-year-old Reginald Quick of Weirton.  Police say they believe Quick shot his ex-girlfriend, Patricia Purvey, once in the back.  Authorities say Purvey gave them a false story about how she was wounded, but later recanted her story, telling them she had lied because she was afraid.  Purvey, who lives in the 300 block of Ridge Avenue, said Quick appeared in her bedroom and pointed a gun at her, threatening to kill her.  She said the gun went off as she pushed his arm away.  Purvey drove herself to the hospital with Quick following in his vehicle.  He was questioned by police but told them he didn’t see or hear anything.
