A 23-year-old Catawba County man, who was in serious condition after being shot in the chest Tuesday, was recovering Wednesday at Carolinas Medical Center, hospital officials said.
Chad Dorian Teague was shot in the chest shortly after 5:30 p.m. Tuesday during an argument with Michael Scott Jordan, 23, according to a release from the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office.
Jordan was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with intent to kill, according to the Sheriff's Office. He was being held Wednesday night at the Caldwell County jail on a $100,000 bond.
Teague was taken to Grace Hospital in Morganton before being flown to Carolinas Medical Center, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Authorities did not say why the men were arguing or what led to the shooting. Jordan and Teague lived at the same addresses in a trailer community in southwestern Caldwell County, authorities said.
Teague's father, 59-year-old Jeffery Scott Teague, was also charged with interfering with the investigation. He was treated for injuries he received during an altercation and was taken to Caldwell County Memorial Hospital.
The Sheriff's Office did not say how Jeffrey Teague interfered with their investigation or how he was injured.
