CU shooting suspect charged in I-64 shootings

WAYNESBORO, Va. (4/9/08)--A 19-year-old Virginia man charged with allegedly firing gunshots into a closed credit union also has been charged in shootings that injured two people on Interstate 64 between Waynesboro and Charlottesville, Va.

Slade Allen Woodson, 19, of Alton, Va., now is facing 17 felony counts, 15 in Abermarle and two in Waynesboro (C-ville.com April 8).

DuPont Community CU (DCCU), Waynesboro, reported that during the night of March 27, while the office was closed, shots were fired at the building and a repossessed car on the premises (News Now March 31). No credit union employees or members were involved or affected.

A surveillance tape of the credit union's parking lot helped pinpoint a suspect vehicle, an AMC Gremlin. Woodson owns an orange 1974 Gremlin.

A 16-year-old male also faces 10 felony counts related to the I-64 shootings. He has not been charged in the credit union shooting.
