Today , Governor Mark Warner will pay a visit to the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy-- nearly four weeks after a shooting spree that left three people dead.
A Warner spokesman says the Governor will first meet with town and county officials, and then will head to the school.
He plans to speak to an assembly of students and faculty, and have lunch with them.
Warner was friends with one of the victims -- Dean Anthony Sutin -- and had served on the school's board of trustees.

The drought- like conditions we've been experiencing could get worse before they get better.
The spring fire season is just around the corner and the water level at Carvin's Cove continues to drop.
As Justin McLeod discovered, we are just weeks away from mandatory water restrictions in Roanoke.

Taking a walk down to this creek in Salem, you get a clear picture (SHOT OF OUT OF FOCUS INTO FOCUS; 13:07:27) of just how dry it really is.
There's no water running in it, and the soil that is...looks and feels bone dry.

Chris Thomsen should know.
As a forester for the Department of Forestry, he's gearing up for the spring fire season.
It's a season that he fears could be worse than what we saw last fall. (FILE OF FALL FIRES)

And it will take more than four inches of rain just to saturate the top soil.

((JUSTIN McLEOD/REPORTING: ANOTHER CONCERN IS HERE AT CARVIN'S COVE. CURRENTLY, THE WATER LEVEL HERE AT THE COVE IS 21 FEET BELOW THE SPILLWAY. ONCE IT HITS 22, MANDATORY RESTRICTIONS KICK-IN, AND CITY OFFICIALS WARN THAT COULD COME IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.))
[Runs= 14]
[OUT Q=matter of weeks]


The mandatory water restrictions would start out with a partial ban on all outdoor watering from ten to seven.
But if the cove falls even further, the city of Roanoke will then implement stronger restrictions.

It's an event that will most likely repeat itself if we don't get substantial rain anytime soon.

Teachers and students complained of a strange odor at Lee Waid Elementary school in Rocky Mount.
Maintenance workers determined the problem was most likely coming from the boys bathroom.
Last month, crews replaced leaky pipes as well as removed absestos from other parts of the school.
Now that the work is completed, school officials say the odor has disappeared, and students are no longer having headaches or becoming nauseous.

The Norfolk Southern coal train derailed in Eggleston just after three o-clock yesterday morning. 24 cars were involved, eight ended up on their sides. The company says it was able to keep other trains moving by detouring other cars around the accident. Environmental inspectors were sent to check for any possible hazards, but since it is coal, Norfolk Southern does NOT expect any problems. The train was headed from Bluefield to Norfolk.
