Police say the suspected shooter, 72 year old Isaac George Abbott of Roanoke then stole Malinda Smith's Mercury Mountaineer, and drove to Pulaski County. A few hours later, a Salem City patrolman saw the vehicle travelling northbound on Interstate 81 and gave chase. Roanoke City police set up a rolling roadblock on Route 2-20, and that's where investigators say Abbott shot himself in the head at around 3-o'clock Wednesday morning.

In a matter of weeks, Carilion Health System will chose three or four health insurance providers that will essentially get a better discount on services than any of the others.
[ANCHOR=Keith 2-shot]

Carilion says it's an attempt to open the local insurance market to more competition.
[ANCHOR=Keith full]

But some think it's possible your insurance rates could end up relatively higher if your insurance company is not chosen as a partner.

Business Reporter Jennifer Miele is at Carilion now with an update on the negotiations.
[LIVE=Jennifer Full/Microwave]
[SUPER=@jennifer1]
[SUPER=05-Roanoke]

Keith, Shannon, here's what we know:
As you said, three or four insurance partners will be chosen in the next month or so.
The latest development is that draft letters of intent went out to a number of insurance companies last week, laying out terms for a possible partnership.
(-----------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Roanoke]

We know that both Trigon and Southern Health have received letters. According to Carilion, MAMSI has not. No contracts have been signed.
But if your insurance company is NOT chosen, comparatively higher rates could be passed on to you.
A source tells us it's possible Trigon may not make the cut because it refuses to come to terms with Carillon's payment system. Some say that's a major concern because Trigon insures one hundred sixty thousand people in the area.
(-------------)
[LIVE=Jen full/Microwave]
[SUPER=05-Roanoke;]

Carilion says Trigon has not been written off and that, again, Trigon has received a letter of intent to enter negotiations. Trigon says it is in negotations already.
There is the possibility that insurance companies who have no presence in Southwest Virginia could be chosen as partners, thereby opening up the market to competition.

We'll here more on this from Carilion and other insurance brokers tomorrow.

The Reverend Jerry Falwell is issuing another challenge to the state law that limits how much land churches can own.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Lynchburg/2001;]

Falwell is building a new sanctuary for Thomas Road Baptist Church on 60 acres of land in Lynchburg... even though state law limits churches to just 15 acres.
The law goes back 200 years ... and Falwell's lawyers say it's outdated and unconstitutional.
In November, Falwell filed a similar lawsuit.
But at that time, the state did not enforce the land restrictions, so the judge dismissed the case.
Since then, the General Assembly has decided to enforce the law, so Falwell is renewing his fight.

Another suit, challenging the state law forbidding churches from incorporating, is going forward.
