CHEHALIS, Wash. (AP) -- A man wanted for shooting a Pe Ell man with a crossbow turned himself in to deputies Friday morning.
Deputies say a Pe Ell man was shot with a crossbow by an attacker who hid and waited outside his house.
The Lewis County sheriff's office said 33-year-old Lehman Neil Delavergne will face attempted murder charges.
The 26-year-old victim also was stabbed in the attack about 8 p.m. Wednesday and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with severe head and chest injuries. He's reported in stable condition.
   Sheriff's spokeswoman Stacy Brown says investigators aren't yet releasing any information about a possible motive.

spewie: Are you an anti-white racist, or just a self-hating Caucasian? Your fascination with White Crime is troubling in either case.

Who is the man in the photo? Victim or perp? He looks older, so I am assuming it is the shooter/stabbber,

NWcamera, I would suggest the spewie is being sarcastic, as every news item with a now-white perp always draws a slew of comments about gang affiliation or legal status. White perps get a pass. speakthetruth The pic is of the victim from another news source I've visited.

When they keep showing the victim's photo, unlabeled, it gives the impression that it is a photo of Mr. Delavergne.

I very much dislike this new web site. Like the Oregonian I can choose to get my news someplace else.
