A sigh of relief Friday as Virginia State Police (web) make two arrests in the I-64 shootings. The suspects are 16 and 19-years-old, and facing several charges.
State police made the announcement late Friday afternoon that a 16-year-old from Crozet and 19-year-old Slade Woodson of Afton are facing at least 10 charges each in connection with the shootings on I-64 Thursday morning.
Col Steve Flaherty, VA State Police - "Woodson and the juvenile each will face 2 felony counts of malicious wounding, 2 counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony 4 counts of maliciously shooting at an occupied vehicle."
State Police say the ten charges Woodson is facing are in addition to two other charges stemming from a Waynesboro shooting early Thursday. In that shooting police say Woodson shot at a house and at a credit union in Waynesboro.
Evidence at that scene led investigators to get a search warrant for a house in Crozet on Yonder Hill Farm. Police say five people were in the home, and one pulled a gun, so they shot him. He's in the hospital. Woodson was also in the home.
Investigators say ballistics evidence linked him to the shootings on I-64 which injured two people and damaged six vehicles. They found much of that evidence in a car.
Both men have bond hearings on Monday.

I stand and applaud the officers of the VSP for their fast, smart and hard work on this case. They came, they saw, took names and kicked butte. Job well done! Thank you all for everything that they do everyday and night to keep our state/country a safer place to live.
Now the judge(s) need to do there part. Hopefully they will and serve the justice due to these troubled young men to get their lives back on the right track.
