And there was a fatal shooting following a standoff in Tazewell County
yesterday.
Authorities shot and killed a knife-wielding Portsmouth man after he
allegedly tried to attack them.
It all began after Portsmouth authorities charged 50-year-old Jimmy Smith
with killing his wife, 43-year-old Deborah Smith.
Sheriff's deputies later found him just outside Bluefield.
Authorities say Smith threatened to cut himself with the knife, keeping
deputies at bay for about 30 minutes.
They say he then turned on the deputies and tried to attack.
One deputy then shot and killed Smith.
