From staff reports
A man found guilty of the attempted first-degree murder of his wife has had his conviction upheld by the N.C. Court of Appeals after judges ruled that no error had been made in his trial.
Paul Killian, 60 at the time of his conviction in May 2019, was charged with attempted first-degree murder after a domestic dispute that began when he asked his wife about the status of their relationship. Killian and his wife were separated at the time, and his wife suspected he was addicted to pain medication, court records show.
On Dec. 15, 2017, after an argument at a business off Fanning Fields Road in Mills River, police said Killian began chasing his wife in her vehicle down Boylston Highway, ramming the car and firing shots at her.
Trail maintainers on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail along the Blue Ridge Parkway are warning hikers about a possible danger in a tunnel that runs under I-40 on the trail in East Asheville.
“This is a public safety issue,” said Les Love, of Weaverville. He is the section crew leader of the MST along this section of the parkway for the Carolina Mountain Club.
He said the large tunnel, which is on a highly popular section of the MST between the Folk Art Center at Milepost 382 and the Parkway Visitor Center and Headquarters building at MP 384, has not only become unsightly with offensive graffiti and mounds of trash, but he believes it’s a safety hazard.
