WOMAN SHOT ON STREET; TEEN ROBBED AT GUNPOINT

A 31-year-old Southwest Roanoke woman was shot in the right arm as she walked along Salem Avenue Southwest early Wednesday, police said.

According to a news release, Kimberly L. Stergill told police she heard a gunshot and then was struck by a bullet. Stergill was treated at Community Hospital of Roanoke Valley.

In another incident, a 17-year-old Northwest Roanoke boy was robbed at gunpoint about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The teen-ager was on Dunbar Street in the Lincoln Terrace housing development when a man driving a white van asked him for drugs, police said. The teen-ager told the man that he had none, and another man in the rear of the van stuck a shotgun out the driver's window and demanded the youth's money, police said. The teen-ager gave him $62, and the men left the area traveling east on Liberty Road.

Police have made no arrests.
