Good evening. I'm Shannon Young in for Jean Jadhon.
It took two days for a Virginia jury to decide sniper suspect Lee Malvo should spend the rest of his life in prison. After eight and a-half hours of deliberations, jurors decided to spare the teen's life, voting late this afternoon for imprisonment without parole. Scott Rapoport is in Chesapeake with more.

TRACK: MALVO'S DEFENSE TEAM ASKED THE JURY TO BE COMPASSIONATE, TELLING THEM HE ACTED UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A CONTROLLING FATHER FIGURE, JOHN ALLEN MOHAMMAD. ATTORNEY CRAIG COOLEY ASKED THE JURY TO SPARE MALVO'S LIFE, SAYING QUOTE, "EVERY PERSON, CERTAINLY A CHILD, HAS GOOD WITHIN HIM."

Manpower shortages in the Lynchburg Fire Department are apparently forcing the city to close one of its eight neighborhood fire stations on Christmas Day.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Lynchburg]


A handmade sign outside Station Number Two on Grace Street is informing the public of the closure and suggests residents call the city manager.
A combination of retirements, vacation time and sick leave has resulted in the department taking the Station Two engine out of service for a day.
That could result in a delay in response time as firefighters from another station respond to emergency calls.
