A decision regarding a controversial abortion pill. Nearly 100 protesters holding signs lined the sidewalk on the corner of Orange Avenue and Williamson Road yesterday afternoon. They say Thursday's approval of the RU-486 pill will only lead to more abortions. The abortion protest is a yearly event, that just happened to correspond with last week's FDA decision. One woman and a police officer were taken to the hospital this morning following a house fire in Roanoke.
Firefighters say the house was fully involved when they arrived.
They say the owner of the house was injured as well as a police officer. The extent of their injuries is unknown. One neighbor witnessed the blaze. No word yet on what caused the fire. Kids had a chance to learn about fire safety and to see the different trucks the department uses.
