County police chief and we also spoke with a the teens brother about the incident. This is a picture of what police say they saw friday night. 18 year old Kionte Deshaun Spencer walking along the area of electric and brambleton road. That red circle shows what appears to be a gun in his right hand. But chief howard hall revealed it was actually a bb pistol. Chief hall so you can see in this picture the weapon that our officers saw in the subjects hand and how it compares to the 9mm pistol chief hall says officers told spencer to put down the gun, but he did not. So an officer tried and failed to tase him, twice. Thats when spencer turned around, with the gun still in his hand. Chief hall this was a deadly force encounter, despite the fact that we know now that this handgun was an air gun then, two of the officers shot at spencer. Chief hall the preliminary that he was hit once in the hip area and once in the collarbone or shoulder. I cant, what, what can happen . My brothers dead, you know . I cant do nothing for him but find out. Carl spencer says kionte is his brother. He says this doesnt like something his brother would do. He was a good person like i could honestly, i cant really say nothing bad about him Kionte Spencer was enrolled as a junior at Hidden Valley high school school, but was not in school this past week. There are two investigations into spencers death, a criminal and administrative investigation. This happened at a busy intersection, so police are asking witnesses to the shooting to come forward to help with the investigation. Amanda kenney, wdbj7.

The Registrars Office has put out the word, mailing over 60 thousand notices to active and inactive voters, airing videos and other reminders. But registrar Andrew Cochran says a majority of the citys voters will be casting ballots in new locations. Andrew cochran roanoke city voter registrar of the 32 polling locations that we had before, 18 are no longer serving as polling locations, so if you voted in one of the 14 precincts that survives you go to the same place, but there are seven new precincts, and as i stated about 18 are no longer in service, so that equates to almost two thirds of the voters will be voting in a different place this time.
