| State police announced today that the same weapon was used in all of the shootings that occurred Thursday on or near Interstate 64. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found a positive match between shell casings collected at each of the six shooting sites and a Ruger .22-caliber magnum rifle that was found at Yonder Hill Farm in Crozet, according to a press release from the Virginia State Police. The shootings slightly injured two motorists. A third person was shot by police during a Friday raid at the Crozet farm. An analysis of ballistic evidence also showed a positive match between the shell casings at the crime scenes and the shell casings found in a 1974 AMC Gremlin, owned by Slade Allen Woodson, 19, of Afton, according to the release. Police arrested Woodson at the Crozet farm, after finding the abandoned Gremlin parked along U.S. 29 on Thursday. The Gremlin is similar in appearance to a car that appeared in a surveillance video from DuPont Community Credit Union in Waynesboro, where a repossessed van and the building were hit by gunfire. Woodson and a 16-year-old boy have both been charged with ten felony counts of malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, maliciously shooting at an occupied vehicle, and destruction of property, the release states. |
