Good evening. I'm Teresa Hamilton. Roanoke County police say they DO have some leads in the search for a suspect whose actions sent one man to the hospital tonight.

[super=03-Roanoke Co.]
Police say the man was driving Southbound on the Blue Ridge Parkway, nearing the Roanoke Mountain Overlook Exit, when he and his wife heard a shot from a high-powered pellet gun. Then the man was struck in the head by a B-B that police believe was NOT fired from a standard B-B gun - but was instead fired with a high-powered device.
The B-B - which flew in threw the passenger's open window - struck the driver in the head - where it was embedded when police arrived. Police say the B-B did NOT penetrate the man's skull and his injuries do not appear life-threatening. He was taken to Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

This is the place where the young protester was killed and as you can see other demonstrators have put together a make shift shrine to honor his memory and behind me here you can see the official name of the square has been crossed out, the name of the protester killed has been put in its place.

They shot him, they shot him dead, they murdered him ok? Point blank, cold blood they shot him!

But even though Italian prosecutors have opened an investigation into the death (NAT of Italian police officer) police officers say they have to defend themselves to ensure the summit can take place. President Bush also denounced the violence.

(SOT) President Bush
Those protesters who try to shut down our talks on trade and aid don t represent the poor as far as I m concerned.

But strong differences of opinion aren't limited to what s happening in the streets of Genoa. There s a conflict between President Bush and European leaders on the issue of global warming.
