Moses allegedly pulled out a gun, leading to a scuffle between him and the homeowner. Moses was shot during the altercation, and the other suspect fled on foot.
Moses was treated and released from Halifax Regional Hospital, and he was being held in the Halifax County jail Monday under a $100,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 24.
