The shooting happened just after

Ivanhoe Road in Fries.

The Sheriff says 68-year old
Robert Bonds shot 77-year old Virginia
Haynes three times, once in the chest
and twice in the back.

A neighbor, who apparently saw
it all happen, says Bonds then shot
himself in the head.

The sheriff says Bonds had been
drinking.

An autopsy will determine
whether, in fact, he was drunk.

That's the conclusion of a new study
at the University of Virginia.

The study found that popular teens
are three times more likely to drink,
smoke pot, shoplift and vandalize
property.

The study was based on surveys of
500 Charlottesville-area middle school

One U-V-A professor says the study
contradicts the conventional view that
popular kids don't do bad things.

David Waters says it shows that we
shouldn't automatically blame the
