It was always surprising to me how little violence there was on the VT campus and surrounding area. Lots of people kept their windows wide open and doors unlocked, especially in August when it's actually hot and not pouring rain. The disenfranchised students there outnumber the voting "locals" by at least five to one, and most of the violence I recall was between those two groups.

"Authorities gave more details of the capture today of William Morva, saying he was found hiding in a briar patch about three-quarters of a mile from the entrance to the Huckleberry Trail and about 150 yards from the scene of this morning's fatal shooting of Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Eric E. Sutphin."

Sadly, I suspect I know Eric Sutphin's family, having briefly gone to high school with many of the Sutphin clan in that area. Blacksburg is a college town, but Christiansburg, right down the road, is a classic Southern Virginian place where everyone knows (and is related to) everyone. His death is going to affect a lot of people there.
