Police in North Carolina have arrested a man in the accidental shooting death of a college student at an off-campus party.
Boone police Capt. Jim Wilson said 20-year-old Galen Elijah Ruble of Boone was arrested Monday in the death of 20-year-old Appalachian State University student Jay Derby of Matthews.
Wilson said Derby was shot and killed with a muzzle loader early Sunday morning.
Ruble, who is not a student at Appalachian State, was charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter for the negligent shooting death of Derby, who died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Ruble is free on $10,000 bond with a court date scheduled for Dec. 15. It wasn't immediately known whether Ruble had an attorney, and a telephone listing for his family had been disconnected.
