A Middlecreek Township man has been charged with attempted homicide following a fight on Monday night that resulted in another man being shot in the head.

Justin T. Yerger, 41, allegedly shot Chad Howard during an argument at Yerger's Molly Lane residence in Middlecreek Township, Snyder County, around 11 PM.

Officials say Howard was taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville and was in fair condition.

Court records indicate that Yerger turned off the electrical breaker. When Howard came home and discovered the utility had been shut off, he confronted Yerger, court records said.

In response, Yerger pulled out an H&R .22 caliber revolver from his sweatshirt and shot at Howard.

Howard was struck in the forehead and fell to the ground, according to court records.

Yerger is being held in lieu of $200,000 cash on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, possessing an instrument of crime and simple assault.
