Two Virginia teenagers have been charged with several felonies in connection with a shooting spree along Interstate 64.  One of the suspects, Slade Allen Woodson, was taken into custody Friday morning. The other has been identified as a 16-year-old boy from Crozet, Va.They each face 10 felony counts that include malicious wounding and maliciously shooting at an occupied vehicle.Investigators said they now believe the shootings were part of a long night of random gunfire in which the pair also shot at a credit union and a residence.  Only two people were injured.

Opinion:

I don’t understand why you would just go around shooting at random people.  It doesn’t make sense.  These people obviously need to be put in prison and receive large amounts of counseling before they are reintroduced to the public.  Maybe some medication would help, too.

A woman on Friday abducted a 1-day-old baby from a secure hospital unit and apparently managed to smuggle the child outside.  Jennifer Latham was arrested a short time later after being pulled over by police in nearby Lake Mary.  Hospital officials alerted police of the abduction around 1:45 p.m. after hospital alarms indicated the child had been removed from the newborn unit. Hospital spokesman Craig Bair said the child was wearing a device that set off an alarm when the infant was taken outside.  The hospital was immediately locked down as officials searched the grounds, but the woman was apparently able to slip by security because she had the child hidden in a bag, The baby was found inside unharmed and has been returned to the hospital.

Opinion:

I wish this story had a quote from the woman as to why she took kidnapped the child.  It would be interesting to hear her try to excuse her actions.  If I were the parents I would be very upset, of course.  I may try to sue the hospital for allowing a unauthorized person near my baby in a supposed secure location in the first place.
