Good Morning Steve. Residents living on the proposed sites for a new Roanoke County school think better choices could have been made. Meade Carter has lived on the land for about four years, and says it should be treated as a treasure, not a site for major construction. County Attorney Paul Mahoney says he remains hopeful that the parties can find some common ground, before the issue ends up in court. Henry County authorities have a suspect in a Wednesday fatal shooting.
Deputies say it happened outside Bates's mobile home on North Daniels Creek Road in Henry County.
They say Bates was standing on his front porch when he fired a shotgun. Lambert was found wounded in the front yard. He later died. Bates is now behind bars. Bail has been set at 100-thousand dollars.
