Four rescue helicopters and 12 ambulances were sent to the scene. A man convicted with his girlfriend of manslaughter in the death of their newborn baby is a free man this afternoon. The couple said they thought the child was stillborn. Roanoke City police officers were called to Carilion Community Hospital last night after a baby was brought in with burns and blisters to her legs and backside. Officials say the 9 month old girl was apparently burned by hot water from a bath tub.
Authorities say the baby was with the mother's boyfriend at the time of the incident.
So far NO charges have been filed. A mother and her son were assaulted with a baseball bat in the Wendy's parking lot near Tanglewood mall. So far police have not caught the suspects, but witnesses who were at Wendy's say five men were involved in the fight. The mother was able to drive herself and her son to the hospital. There is no word on their conditions.
