Woodson charged with two more felonies in I-64 shootings

Waynesboro authorities have filed two additional felony charges against Slade Woodson, the 19-year-old suspect in the March 27 Interstate 64 shootings, according to Waynesboro Police Sergeant Kelly Walker.

"The reason for [filing two additional charges] was that we found a secondary bullet hole," Walker said, explaining that Woodson is receiving two charges for this bullet hole because he not only fired from a vehicle, which counts as one charge, but also shot into a house, which is a separate charge.

The second bullet hole, which had not been observed during previous investigations, was uncovered during "a reexamination of the scene, which was corroborated by other parts of the investigation," Walker said.

Charges have not yet been filed against the juvenile suspect in the case, Walker noted.
