  Nine people are displaced after an early morning house fire in Washington County. The fire broke out just before 2 a.m. Saturday at a home along Weller Road in Hancock. A Jefferson County grand jury has formally indicted a Harpers Ferry woman in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred in late 2025, according to the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
