((Students hugged, held on, and wiped away each others tears but comfort was hard to come by at Thurston high. It was supposed to be a celebration day, and 400 stduents had gathered in the cafeteria for a seniors honors breakfast.
But then students say 15 year old Kiplin Kinkel came in, carrying enough weapons to wipe out a school.
DEREK MEYERS, WITNESS: IT SOUNDED LIKE FIRECRACKERS. MICHELLE CALHOUN/WITNESS: I WAS AT MY TABLE. IT WAS LIKE SLOW MOTION.
Witnesses say kinkel would have kept shooting but for this boy, Jacob Ryker. a member of the high school wrestling team- who despite being shot himself, tackled kinkel anyway and wrested the rifle away- a high school hero of the latest high school horror. It was just a day before Kinkel had been arrested and expelled from school for bringing a stolen gun to campus.
When the smoke cleared at the school, deputies went to Kinkel's house, where they found two other dead bodies, adults, presumably his parents. Police think they were gunned down in the morning before Kinkel headed to school.))

(( In terms of revenue, City Stadium is not exactly a cash cow for Lynchburg.
The city takes in about 15- thousand dollars a year renting the ballpark to the minor league Hillcats, and also collects the tax on concession sales at stadium events.
Beyond that the benefits are less tangible.

[OUT Q=means a lot.]

But some experts dispute that.
In their book "Sports, Jobs and Taxes" economists Roger Noll and Andrew Zimbalist studied the impact of city- financed sports stadiums and concluded that "sports facilities attract neither tourists nor new industry".
They go on to say that "most spending inside a stadium is only a substitute for other local recreational spending".

[natsot sale]
[RUNS:01]
So if Lynchburg can expect no big revenue boost from a revamped ballpark, why spend the money?
As an economic development tool, officials say having minor league baseball in town is helpful but not a PRIMARY selling point for attracting new industry.
And renovating the ballpark CAN be cost- effective.

((GEORGE TATUM/INVENTOR: I HAD ABOUT A FOOT OF ROAD TO RIDE ON, AND THERE WERE CARS TO THE LEFT AND USUALLY TREES OR BARBED WIRE OR HOUSES ON THE RIGHT. HERE I'VE GOT THE WHOLE LAKE SO I DON'T HAVE ANY FEAR OF FALLING DOWN. AND IF I DO FALL I JUST ROLL INTO THE WATER.))

Tatum says he can pedal about six miles an hour-- balancing with the handlebars and steering with the brakes.
This weekend he'll race against a crew of expert sailors at Smith Mountain Lake.
