File Tape 39 year old Greg Todd Akers was
shot twice by Christiansburg and
Federal officers while they were
serving arrest warrants.

It happened two weeks ago outside
the Hunan House Restaurant.

Police say Akers tried to run
them over with his car.

Akers, who's since been charged
with drug, gun and abduction offenses,
had eluded police for two weeks,

The Montgomery County
Commonwealth's Attorney has the report,
and will make a decision later this
week as to whether the officers were
justified in the shooting.

ten- thousand units of blood or blood
components could have been avoided if
the Red Cross had followed its own
guidelines.

*CG file File Tape The recalls took place between the
Spring of 2003 and 2004.

The Appalachian Region, which
covers the News 7 viewing area,
recalled 52 units of blood products
because the bags didn't contain enough
platelets to be effective.

That failure resulted in a fine

of nearly 160- thousand dollars.

The Red Cross says it hopes new

fall, will cut down on the number of
recalls.

seven- million units of blood a year.

already heavily involved in flames.

The roof collapsed, leaving the home
a total loss.

No one was home at the time- but 2

The red cross is assisting the
